Rono Customs

Current work, all sambar stag and 80crv2 steel. 2 with mammoth spacers.

For all my fellow fly fishing friends. I often make fly gear for myself with a few duplicates to offer up. Here’s a simple 2”x4” fly patch. Gorgeous black Horween leather fronted with a soft patch of genuine sheepskin. Fitted with a split ring, it can easily be attached to the front of your vest or slipped into a pocket. If interested please send me a message.

We have 5 rolls of fresh Horween leather in from Chicago! Blacks and browns. Shall be used on some special projects and sheaths.
