Hi Andy, Thats fantastic. I also like the small pitch of the stitching. Is the design taken form a historic piece?

Hi Odin,

Thanks! :) Yeah, it's done with a No.8 pricking iron and it's an interpretation of a C7th blade found at Bamburgh Castle (the plainer version is on display in the castle museum). The sheath decoration is taken from contemporary metalwork.
