ZeeBee Leather

^^^ beautiful beautiful work.

One of the reasons I took up leather the first place was to make a Knife Roll for my day job. It's been a couple of years since my first attempt at a knife roll, and I'm taking another stab at it (terrible pun completely intended). It's not finished yet, but I thought I'd share a progress pic just for fun.
It's pretty much an entire side of Horween English Tan Dublin in 6/7 oz weight (heavy freakin' duty), and all of the straps are 11/12 oz Hermann Oak Bridle in London Tan. The copper bar is for support of the carrying handle, and so far, the whole thing is held together with 81 hand-hammered solid copper rivets.
It still needs closure straps and hardware, a shoulder strap, and a whole lot of burnishing.

Damn, dude, that's gonna weigh twenty pounds when it's fully loaded. Should be bulletproof, too.

Yeah, because it looks complete shit at the moment…..
I didn't want to say that, because I'm a polite guy. I'm glad you're not similarly burdened.
