I Made This Tooled Knife Sheath For My Accountant. It's The Least I could Do.
My ace accountant/tax guy Enrique did a ton of work for me recently and his fee was way lower than I expected. So when I see him next I'll give him this 7" Bowie with a sheath I made today. I don't make sheaths now but made an exception here. Thanks for the peace of mind, Henry!

Absolutely great work. The stitching looks perfect, if done by hand, you have a great eye or measured perfectly. Grip looks very well finished. For that I would help with your taxes, of course I know nothing and we would both be in deep DoDo. But I'll take the chance if you will. In all seriousness great looking job,did you make the Bowie also?

If you can figure out how to write off beer, sure, you can help me out!
I didn't make the knife. It is a CVA Bowie. It was in my dad's box-o-knives after he died. It is razor sharp! I take slivers out with it. Really. I stitch by hand but it's easy to make it look good if you cut a stitching groove then use one of those little wheels to roll on the leather and mark where the holes will be. I drill the stitching holes with a dinky bit then go at it with my stiching awl. It's not as time consuming as it sounds but sheaths are harder to make than holsters.
