Beaded & Braintanned Sheath
« on: February 04, 2016, 09:37:21 pm »
New acquisition for my collection. Very large partially beaded sheath. Buffalo rawhide liner with brain-tanned and beaded deer hide cover. Old time colors of black, pink, white, blue and greasy yellow. Sheath is 4" wide and 12" long plus 12"-14" fringe.

Replica of the sheath worn by Kevin Costner in Dances with Wolves.

Sheath by Dave Hagstrom and knife by me.

Yes Beadman it's a large knife to be sure. 9 1/2" blade, 1/4" thick and approximately 16" OAL.  I've used that to cut 4" diameter trees, makes short work of it with all the weight it brings to each blow

I have a friend who is making a knife for me. I am going to bead the sheath.
I haven't done any beadwork for a long time.
