modded Brooks Saddle
Down the page a bit: Brooks' saddle modification
Recently there was a thread on the Internet about modifying Brookd saddles. As a 25+ year custom leatherworker - almost exclusively making sheaths for hand made custom knives - I thought it was about time that I modded one of my own Brooks and leave a few tips behind. I've got a ton of experience cutting thick, heavy leathers. The Brooks is a pussycat though as I do lots of cutting through multi layer stacked sheath edges and here's one that was 5 layers thick and measured 50/64ths of an inch or 3/4" - five times thicker than a Brooks saddle. http://www.miketechinfo.com/new-tech-general_stuff.htm Finished saddle: http://miketechinfo.com/pics/brookschop-med.jpg Another web page http://www.fixedgeargallery.com/articles/brooks.htm JR the postman |
