Couple "firsts" in leatherwork
I have made a few traditional holsters and gun belts but hadn't made a cross draw holster or knife sheath until now. Friends hit me up to try to make both recently. Generally happy with the results, thought I'd share.
The holster is for a Kahr CW9 9mm the knife has a 9" blade.

nice work. my dad used to do leather work. he had made holsters and knife sheaths for quite a few people. it seems like every year i got a knife and a sheath for it for either my birthday or christmas. i wish i still had most of them, but they were never found after the tornado. my wife still has a purse that i had him make for her as a christmas present.

Great work. For me traditional knife sheaths where just the blade is in the leather are harder to get right than holsters. Fantastic basketweave, too.
