Nice work clean design,Rounding and Burnishing the edges with Gum Trag will give it a more finished look.The dyed background would also kick butt!

Thanks for the advice, I'll give that a try on my next project.

Excellent work!I'll have to share this post with my brothers in the Brotherhood of the Kilt!I look forward to seeing your sporran work.

Thanks brother, I'm working on the sporran now.

Very nice, and welcome home!

The leather complements the hilt very nicely. You did good.... now you have set the bar....

Thats one of the little things we dont tell noobs... if you set the bar high your first time out... thats what we expect from now on... Thats why I only post pix of my bad stuff... LOL

Was this made for yourself?

Thanks Wolf. I'll try not to disappoint. This project was for me but I'm going to make variants for a few friends that wear kilts.

That is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing the pattern too. I do alot of Celtic stuff and am always looking for nice designs. I don't do anything high volume, so please don't think I'm going to put it on bunches of stuff...just once in a while someone might ask for a thistle pattern.

Thanks a million. I love your celtic work! I have some designs that you might like. Message me if you want to check them out.

Really nice work on both the sheath and the knife handle. I like how your thread seems to match the leather color perfectly.

Great looking work for your first project, you'll do very well with leather from what I see. Did you also make the knife?

Ken

I made the handle, but the blade I got on ebay as a blank. I don't have the equipment or know how for making damascus steel. Maybe someday once I get the leather tooling and wood carving down better.

It's adapted from a silver pin.

Here's the pattern I made if you're interested.

My name's Art and I've been lurking for awhile. I want to thank everyone for the all of the advice you offer to beginners. It's been a Big help!

This is my first leather project and would appreciate any advice for improvement. I'll be attempting a sporran with a Celtic design next.
