SHEATH: Custom Tooled Leather Sheath by Paul Long of Kerrville, TX. Sheath has soft leather lining.
CONDITION: New Customized knife from a Camillus blank
MADE IN: U.S.A. and Customized in the U.S.A.
ADDITIONAL INFO: I purchased this blank after the Camillus factory closed in 2007. The handles are thick slabs of Sandbar Stag. The handles are attached with mosaic pins and glue. The glue prevents moisture from getting between the tang and handles and causing damage. The bolsters are hand cut from brass stock and pinned. Between the tang and the stag, and between the bolsters and the stag is a layer of black liner material which serves as a contrast to the white part of the stag where it is hafted to meet the bolsters and tang.
The sheath was custom made for this knife by Paul Long of Kerrville Texas. Paul has been a friend for many years and is one of the most accomplished custom sheath makers in the U.S.A. This sheath is made from heavy weight cowhide. It is tooled with a basket weave pattern on the front and accented with the edge of the dark brown liner. The inside of the sheath is lined with soft gloving leather. The back of the sheath is stamped with Paul’s signature logo. The sheath itself is a work of art.
Here is a One-Of-A-Kind knife for your collection or for your use.
COA available at no charge upon request.
