Thank you very much for your kind words, Mike.
The sheath is sewed with tientos (strands of raw colt leather), central and edges seams and the button is woven with tientos. The sheath is made with raw cow leather knife shaved. The handle is also woven with tientos. Tileforo Last edited by tileforo; 03-14-2005 at 05:37 PM. |

Thank you Paul and DC Knives
I'm from Argentina and this's a typical argentinian ( gaucho) craft. Making a handle and the sheath take me almost a fortnight. 1) The cow hide is taken from a just dead animal, the fat is removed and is shaved with a kinfe. |

3) It's moisten and (something like kneaded) to soften.
