A different sheath for a different knife

[Sharpshooter]

A couple of times a year, my principal customer, Bark River Knife and Tool holds an event where people are welcomed into the shop to build their own knife.

People come from all over the world and always have a terrific time but they do manage to come up with some very unusual designs for knives.

Being that the sheath shop is attached to the knife shop, we are often asked to come up with sheaths for the knives these folks build. Since we're a production shop, custom sheaths are really more like prototypes to us as our everyday job is knocking out a hundred sheaths.

This sheath was a challenge.... the knife shape is very different, yet pleasing to the eys and actually feels good in the hand.

I can see why this guy wanted a sheath, the knife just begs to be used. The sheath will be in the mail to him as soon as as I take care of the stitching issue.

Anyone else have a pic of an unusual sheath they've done?

Very nice design on both the kife and sheath, I like the one handed sheath release- sweet!
