Title: Quilled, rawhide sheath.
Post by: Plainsman on May 11, 2013
One of the fellas at my muzzleloader club wanted to gift something specical to another club member. He gave me the knife and said do whatever I like.....so this is what I came up with.

Quilled, bark tanned leather on deer rawhide. With elk hair, coyote claw and a little beadwork. And alittle elk rawhide on the handle as the scales were lose. This beast took forever. I have been slowly working on it since the club's winter shoot back in feburary.

I really dont have a recipe. I put two packets of kool aid in some boiling water, added a cup of vinegar let cool a moment then soaked the quills for a couple hours. To get the orange color I used........orange koolaid!

Actually I have used the Walmart great value brand koolaid which is still only 20 cents a package. And two packages will dye a batch of quills.
