Sharp Things
Lil-Rokslider
Back in 2013 I took an old knife that had been laying around in my shop in Wisconsin and I had an idea for what to do with it. I knew this deserved better than its dusty life in the corner of my shop where it laid, rusty and without a sheath. I knew this knife was destined for greater things.
The knife I talking about is an old Western Brand L39 made in Colorado. The vintage ad for these knifes speaks to big game adventures.
But sadly, this knife that ought to be experiencing grand adventure was sitting, rusted and damaged and neglected in my shop in Wisconsin. Devoid of a proper leather sheath.
The plan I had for L39 was to ensure it saw the sort of adventures it was designed for but Not in its current condition and without a sheath to carry it. The first step was to restore L39 to its former glory.
Then I had to make a proper sheath to protect L39 and the adventurers that would strap the knife to their hip as they travel the world.
I got some thick tooling leather and made a wooden blade form to shape the leather.
