Description
John Cohea is a frontier style knifemaker and leather worker from Nettleton, Mississippi. In this video, John demonstrates how to make two rawhide neck sheaths. The first sheath is more of a traditional neck sheath where the knife extracts from the bottom. The second neck sheath is a conversion type of sheath that can be worn on either the neck or a belt.
Some of the techniques that John demonstrates are:
- Making a copper concho
- Making a copper lanyard bail
- Making a copper back panel
- Making a braided neck lanyard
- Making a hook and loop clasp for the lanyard
- and other decorating tips
