John Rodgers asked about this in the bushcraft knife thread. I hope this clears it up. These are easy to make and work well.
It's just a series of thick leather disks with a wheel bearing imbedded in the center.
I had used the same piece of cowhide as I used for my Skookum Bush Tool sheath with the same beeswax paraffin mixture to weather proof, so they are a matched set.

I'm just sitting here shaking my head. That is utterly cool.
Not cheating at all in my opinion.

I really love that idea. We've got loads of old bearings gathering dust somewhere, I will have to give that a go.

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.
Excellent idea
Cheating absolutely not, innovative yes and thats how it should be, no point making things more difficult than they need to be.
Brilliant bit of thinking, so simple
I made it clear in the video that the idea wasn't mine, others have done this and to tell the truth I don't remember where I came across the idea first. The leather piece is my interpretation of the concept. They're not hard to build. I actually made two of them, the one with the coin inside works better and I feel will last longer.
WOW, is that the dogs dangley's. Great job.
A bad day on the hills is better than a good day in work any time.
Remember pain is only weakness leaving the body.
Love it
CLAP clearly loudly, as an order, with pauses
So obvious....now someone points it out.
Nobody wins, unless everybody wins
