A knife for the adventurous spirit

[Ron LaClair]

So, Ron... does the sheath have a belt loop, can it be made angled loop for a cross draw?  

That's a good idea Dave. I'll ask Art Vincent who makes my sheaths if he can do that. I have the option for a vertical sheath or a horizontal sheath for my Skinner knife and the horizontal/canoe sheath is the most popular

[Ron LaClair]

I called Art and he though a knife the length of the Voyageur would carry better with an angled cross draw sheath rather than a horizontal one. He said he'd have one in the mail this week for my approval. I'll post pictures when I get it.

Cant wait to see the sheath Ron.

[Doc Nock]

Thanks, Ron!

After I get the plumbing fiasco of this place I bought in TN resolved, if there is $$ left, I WANT One...

On another thread, Cross Draw seemed to reference, among knife makers, a horizontal orientation. That is NOT my concept of "cross draw" as in the Cowboy Action Shooting fraternity of a 45* angle. I AGREE that a longer blade requires an angled sheath, not horizontal like the petite skinner. I'm looking for about a 45* angle or no more than 30*.

Shoot me an email with pics if you want, Ron. I'm more than a little interested! I hate to make my own leather, especially living in a new area where I barely can find my way, let alone places to ferret out goodies like leather pieces! [knothead]

Those knives are very beautiful!! They are my kind of knives.

MAY THE SPIRIT OF FRED BEAR GUIDE OUR ARROWS.

I got the crossdraw sheath from Art today, it's  ambidextrous (left or right) . I'm gonna like this carry a lot.

 

[Doc Nock]

Yup...that is what I'm looking for...

Now all I have to do is to find a "plumber" who will honor his agreement to show up and see how much the repair to my newly purchased home plumbing will cost, and maybe I can get me one of those knives and sheaths!

I have my Ruger cross draw hoslter made for the weak side with strong hand cross over, so the knife would be on this side for me too...

My custom belt I made for the holster is a bit wider than that, how wide might that loop accommodate, Ron?

[Ray Lyon]

Looks good buddy!          

[ISP 5353]

Very nice Ron!

[Ron LaClair]

Dave, this belt is almost 2" and there's plenty of room

 

[Doc Nock]

Thanks for checking and reporting, Ron!

That will WORK!  My custom belt I made for the holster is just under 2" and I have a wide belt to wear with my wool pull over that is closer to three... but I had to taper the front tongue of it to fit the biggest buckle I could readily find so that was only 2"...

Now to get thru this plumbing thing efficiently and have $$ enough left to order me a Christmas Gift!

[Tsalt]

Oh man... I like the looks the knife in the cross draw sheath!!  Very nice!

[Stumpkiller]

Yep.  This is leader in the post-Christmas gift to me category.    

[randy grider]

I love simple, homemade knives.

Anybody order one yet???Looking to break the bank.Awsome looking knife.Have to add to my DEFENDER............

[Ron LaClair]

Tim I got your PM, As you probably know Michigans ML season opened yesterday and I usually go back and forth from my bow to my flintlock. This morning I took a doe with my flinter and got the chance to use the Voyageur knife again. This is the 2nd deer I've dress with this knife and it continues to impress me.

I used it again this afternoon to cut up vegetables for a big pot of soup...after I washed the blood off of coarse    

[Doc Nock]

Congrats on the flinter deer... PA required use of flintlock and it was the late season, after Christmas and it seemed the past 15 yrs, it would always warm and rain... Flintlock deer is a deer to be proud of, same as bow!

sent you an email re;question on knife...

Thanks!

[Skates]

Very Nice!
