These where in the mail Friday, but because of prior commitments, I couldn't pick them up until this morning. Armoralleather did a fantastic job on these sheaths.

We shipped 3 loads of cattle Friday. It is an enjoyable day when you can work with a good crew, stay horseback all day, then get paid at the end of it.

We finally got them out of the creek bottom

Muddy pens were a good excuse to sort horseback

My helper for the day. The dog got tangled up in my bridle reins first thing that morning. After Peanut and I got him untangled I gave him a little pat on the head and he never left our side the rest of the day.

I finished these this afternoon. 52100 steel, 3/4" wide,  7 1/2" overall length, 3" cutting edge, and a little less than 1/8" thick.

Bois-d'arc and Mesquite handles. I get 125.00$ on these without the sheath.

Clay Keonig, the buckle builder ordered this one.

 

Camel bone for a handle, I'll try to swap him out of some bridle buckles when he comes to pick it up. 7/8" wide.

My favorite picture.

These are all from the benefit team roping in Cross Plains.

Knives and sheaths

I received these back from Dwayne at Armoralleather a day or so ago. He did his usual fantastic job.

Jack Gully of K-J Leather http://kbarjleather.com/index.htm and I collaborated on this knife. It is headed to Afghanistan next month with a helicopter pilot. I really like the logo Jack put on the handle.

I just hope all she has to use it for is to clean her fingernails.

Broncs

The benefit team roping went well. The weather was nice, the ropers weren't as gripy as they can be, and a lot of money was raised for Bill and his family. Of course the Shetland broncs and mutton busting is what every one really showed up to watch.

Theresa Keonig Of Cross Plains, Texas was kind enough to share a few pictures with us.

A borrowed computer

When it rains it pours. We got new internet service (hughesnet) and it works 1000% better. Then I received an email claiming some one was trying to sign on to my blog from Omaha, Nebraska. I haven't been able to sign in since on my computer. Maybe we can get it fixed this weekend.

I have been busy in the shop.

 

Gooseneck spurs. Damascus steel.

 

The sheath was made by fellow blogger Mike Martinez.  http://www.woodsandsteel.net/ He's a talented guy, check his work out. Thanks for getting it out so fast Mike.
