Tactical Knife customized

Video

 

Beaver News #49 – March 27, 2017

Today we are talking about taking tactical gear, or your personal hunting gear or fishing gear, and modifying what you’ve already purchased. 

There is a lot of good high-quality gear out there but it still may not suit your needs 100%. So one of our specialties is that we make modifications and upgrades to your gear, just like our motto says:

You dream it  – we make it!

In the video below we show you an example:
One of our clients bought a Blackhawk Knife that he wants to use in a tactical way. We went ahead and wrapped the handle with rawhide. We double wrapped it meaning, first we wrapped it one way and then we wrapped it a second time crisscrossed. We also died the raw hide a nice rich brown.

This is just one example of how we can customize or upgrade your existing gear. Come talk with us about your ideas, but first, click on the image below and watch the short video:
 

Tactical Dog Collars and Leashes

Video

 

Beaver News #48 – February 27, 2017

Let’s talk tactical.

It’s snowing AGAIN here in the Lower Mainland, what unusual winter weather for us.

Mark used this opportunity to pull out his winter camouflage suit so he would blend in, especially since the dog is white as well 🙂

Today he is talking about tactical dog collars and leashes.

  • Double 9-10oz Latigo Leather
  • 1-1/2″ wide
  • Molded sewn handle with reinforced copper rivets
  • Double 1-1/2″ D-rings one on either side
  • single roller buckle

 

The big handle is free floating and doesn’t collapse so you get your hand into it no problem, even if you are wearing gloves. So if you are in a hurry to take control of your dog, you can grab the handle right away.

Watch the video below for more information and to see our cute 11-month-old Bianca.

Beaver News #46 – January 30, 2017

This time Mark talks about a passion of his, Living History re-enactment. Ever since he got introduced to it back in the late seventies, while living in Germany, he is hooked.

Early on he manufactured his own outfits and gear and has built many authentic items over the years including a 1930’s VON nurses bag made off an original for the Burnaby Village Museum.

In today’s video, he shows a big variety of the living history products that we manufacture for re-enactors including:

  • Trotter Knapsack
  • Rawle Pouch
  • British Cartridge Box with or without tin insert
  • Cap Pouches
  • Wood and Leather Canteens
  • Belts of all kinds

Tutorial: How to cut out a corner

Posted on by

Beaver News #40 – October 17, 2016

In this week’s Video, we are talking about how to cut out a corner when doing leather work – not to confuse with How to cut a corner when doing leather work 😉

This tutorial will even be valuable to you if you are not doing leather work yourself but you are (or might be in the future) a customer that wants to buy an item hand made from leather. After watching this video you know what to look for to see if the artist knows his craft and went the extra mile to ensure he produces a beautiful and high-quality item.

If you are doing leather work yourself you might have struggled with this task in the past and have ended up with that unwanted cut that Mark shows at 2:55. Then you probably tried to fix it but ended up messing it up even more. Let Mark show you this simple trick so in the future cutting out a corner will not be any trouble at all.

Are you looking for a unique knife sheath?

Video

Beaver News #30 – February 15, 2016

A knife sheath, pancake holster style

This particular knife sheath is really Mark’s favourite design for out in the bush or for horseback riding because it is slim-line, it sits flat right up against your body and does not protrude out.

You slide it on your belt like you would a pancake holster, the knife is easy to access, and the sheath can be worn on the left or right side of your body or even in the back.
