Coming Home Again

[leatherman]

I got my start doing sheaths for Balisongs, and its looking like things are making the circle again. Kind of Zen, and I am really comfortable with that.

Simple horizontal open top sheath

This is a double stitch version of the above sheath

A little rattle snake inlay action, and no its not easy to make that frame as I found out. Over and over again. :ross:

This one has a magnetic snap and a modern Anarchy symbol that I wasn't familiar with before. I am old school when it comes to the Anarchy thing. :madaddy:

Sad story on this one is the person that ordered it backed out when I was done. Guess it was buyers remorse.

My FHM collection through the years, been with me longer than any of my other collections

A really interesting FHM, estimated to be WWII era. The handles are bone and horn.

My more standard bali's, it was a rainy day, I'll take better ones soon

The oldest balisong that I own. The patent number stamped on it refers to an eighteen hundreds era design, putting it in the early days of the design. It evidently, according to the patent, had a clip point. I guess it was very much loved.

Heres the other balisongs in my collection in the open position, you can see now how short the blade is on that pen balisong, cut aint it? :devil1: Two not shown are my BM42 T latch that I have taped up for sheath making and one other that I cant show, ever, my cross to bear. :deadevil:

Taylor Master, Rostfrie (everyone NEEDS a rostfrie), Spyderfly (the ring is delightful), Bear brand, Pakistan brass, Old Jag, Old BM zamack, another Taylor, this one has a really nice clack to it when flipped.

There's plenty enough floating around to make any FHM collector very happy, don't worry, you just have to know where to look. I found all mine in the states.
