Head knife. Round knife. You’re both right.

Not a lot to talk about, but staying pretty busy between the leather shop and the knife shop. I have a few of the round or head knives available on my other website at www.GibsonLeather.com if you’d like to go over and take a look.

Good news, it’s starting to cool off a bit here on the Redneck Riviera.

Thank you, Mr. Wallace. First knife to go out into the world…

My friend Ricky Wallace is a longtime knife maker that lives and works a hundred or so miles west of me here in Northwest Florida. Ricky’s a US Army Veteran, fishing guru, boat overhauler, and a genuine nice guy with a knack for fixing pretty much anything that breaks. If he can’t fix it, hell, he’ll just make one. The late Lewis Grizzard would call him a Great American. So would I. He’s also a photogenic feller, with a busy channel on YouTube. Ricky makes leather sheaths for all the knives he creates, and he’s been a great help to me in my knife making pursuits. I sent Ricky the first of my leather knives to actually leave my place and head out into the great beyond. He turned around and did the following video. Thank you, Ricky, and thank you for your service, Sir.
