the knife is sleek and has a soft overall design/look to it in a sense...imo the sheath fits the style of the knife nicely in that regard...

That is really nice looking, I like it. Kind of makes me think of a really modern version of the old mongel style embelished knife/sword sheaths they use to use, just a far simpler design ornamentally wise.

Do you have any pointers for doing the stone inlays?

Thanks everyone.Max, that stone is a product made up of real turquoise and acrylic resins which make it very machinable.It come in slabs.But the process would be the same just harder with solid stone.When doing an inlay of this type, I figure the design first then file in a lip around it sort of like an upside down top hat.Thats pretty much it for flat projects but for shaped things like sheaths and holsters you have to shape the back to match the contour.I use a belt sander for that.

Wow Dave!,

Lovely knife and sheath.

I'm a big fan of clean, crisp design. Love it.

The turqoise really adds another dimension.

Beautiful.
