Here's a pic of some of my blades, sheaths and my belt axe that i use
for my Fur trade period stuff. The belt is just an old leather belt left over
from my colonial stuff, along with a plain brass square buckle. The knife
attached to it was made from an old corn knife, that was made from an
old sabre dating from the 1812 period. It was made to look like Squire Boone's
cane knife, but a smaller version, this blade pulls double duty as my 1812 period
belt knife and early fur trade period knife. The other knife is an old butcher style blade
that a smith friend of mine made out here at Ft. Vancouver in their blacksmith shop.
I made and beaded the sheath; the first and LASt time I use german tan hide,
I made both sheaths and both of them have buffalo rawhide inserts.
The belt axe came from a guy in Nevada, who's name I can't recall
