Sheath And A New (Olde) Tool!

Recommended Posts

One of my hobbies is knife making. I made an antler handled Scottish dirk for myself over the summer, and was never satisfied with the sheaths that I had made for it. Since finding the tutorials on this board, I have become somewhat knowledgable of the techniques of wet molding leather, so I made a sheath that I am finally happy with! Here it is:

And the new olde tool! I do basic leather work demos at historical events- festivals and such- with a living history group called the Renaissance Living History Association. My son, who is apprenticed to our blacksmith, forged the needle from a piece of spring from an old garage door.

The top of the handle is carved oak, and the handle itself is deer antler. Te black stains all over the place are the result of a really irritating fly, who spilled half of my bottle of USMC Black. Little :censored2:!! Anyways, those are my latest (finished) projects.
