heres some attempts i made using brass tacks and solid brass spots. the first sheath is mine for my large, nearly 15 inch butcher, copied from an early plains style illustrated in muzzleloader mag in a rex norman article. it has buckskin fringe and all the thongs, drops, and hanging strap are buckskin. the drops have brass and mustard yellow glass trade beads. it is sewn together with linen thread. i used 1/8th spots along the stitching line and 1/8th and 3/16th spots on the drops. this stye sheath, according to the article, is an early plains style. figured itd go good with my repaired handle butcher. its my first true reproduction of a historical peice.

next is a basic skinner sheath with a welt and held together with bent over tacks. the tacks are 1/4 inch and have steel shanks.

last is my latest hawk. it has the 1/4 inch tacks in a row and some small brass nails on the handle.

both sheaths are made from 4 ounce cowhide and i stained them with feibings dark brown around the edges and then a coat of their antique mahognay finish.
