My new flint wallet

(1/2) > >>

Darren Haverstick:







I finally got around to making myself a new flint wallet. I hate the stalls normally used to hold flints. In my experience, they're either too small and the flints won't stay in them or they're too big and you can't get the flints out of them. I solved the problem by putting in a small zippered pocket to hold them.

The body, pocket, and trim are made from deer hide. The purple and beige "bling" is ostrich leg skin. I sewed everything up by hand using artificial sinew. Yeah, I know it's not "period correct" but I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it. It's pleasing to my eye and functional, so that's all that matters.
