This bag completes the kit for the flintlocks on the wall.

Awesome tooling hawkthrower.  


----------------------------------------------------
p.s. I once punched a leather wallet in high school shop for my class project.    craft.

Thank you all for your kind words - This project is still not complete I will be adding a "fringe" of spent rimfire cartridge "beads" with horse hair tassels to the flap. will post a photo when Ive got the edge work done.

Oh and here is another bit of the kit -

A few more photos of the bag construction - thought it might be of interest

Beautiful work!

The double-edge dagger hiding in the case got my attention hawkthrower.  Who manufactured it?

Nice work!
What are the dimensions of the bag?
Ron

Marty, The dagger is one I found "on-line" - I'm not certain of it's providence but I think the blade might be Pakistani, It has no markings, but it is hand ground from good steel. The pommel,grip, and guard look to be parts that can be easily had and assembled.... I wish I could say "I made it" but not this one.. Oh and it's 6" blade 11" overall.....Nice size - not too big or too small.

Ron, the bag is 8-1/2"x8-1/2"x3" at the bottom tapered to 1-1/2" at the top. It is not as large as several I have but is big enough for the essentials. the strap I added is 1" wide and unadorned. It has two brass buckles so the bag can be adjusted easily to ride at a comfortable height. The buckles are set so I can remove the strap and throw the bag over the pommel of my horse's saddle.

Thank you, Hawkthrower.
Ron

Marty, Here's what that blade looks like......

Is that what's called a "dirk"?

Bob,

This pointy thing is a dagger - a dirk is a dagger of sorts, but the shape is a bit different,
this knife might, maybe, just pass in a pinch. But I think its a bit short

Generally a dirk is a longer single or double edged blade very wide compared to length -
meant as a side arm, almost a short sword . It is too long to be a Dubh or boot knife - well more like a Scottish stocking knife

Thanks for the clarification.
