Title: Tippit Carry---Hopefully to be Dressed by Roughcountry
Post by: tippit on May 21, 2010, 04:33:00 PM
I finished all my knife projects & promises.  So I've finally come up with what I'll be carrying on my belt this year.

Now to see if I can claim my 2009 St Judes Special Sheath from Roughcountry  :pray:  If only I could figure out which one to send  :confused:

Since I'm a year late, I'd better find out what kinda style knife Robin would use and send an extra too  :)   Doc

Both knives are 5160 with oal about eight inches.

Flat ground skinner with spalted oak handle.

Hollow ground hunter with curly maple handle.

I don't think I could choose.  Send them both off for sheaths and carry one on each side.

Tough Decision -- too tough.  I wish I had to make such a decision!!!!

Very nice and look forward to seeing Robin's final outcome!

Wow, best thing about building sheath's is handling the knives.
Those are both dandys Jeff. I think you outta let me build a set up like those cowboy action shooters carry.
Tip one handle forward one the right side carry and a crossdraw on the left.
When you run outta cuts with one, shift to the other  :D  
It's legal to carry two when huntin bruins isn't it?

I have been thinking about how that finger swell will affect the sheath. Got some ideas, can't wait. RS

Both are real nice Doc but if I had to chose the curly maple hunter would get the nod.
