Knife and Sheath for a silent auction

[DoogMeister]

The daughter of a friend of ours is involved in the local 4H.  The hold a spaghetti dinner and silent auction fund raiser annually.  I made this knife and sheath to donate for this year's event.

I buy the blades - I have neither time, space, or funds to get into forging. 

The scales are purpleheart with curly maple liners, finished with several coats of hand-rubbed oil-base polyurethane.

The sheath is 7 oz, lined with some deerskin that is left from a vest I had made many years ago.  Feibing's Pro Saddle tan and Spanish Brown on the edges.  Stitched with 0.8mm Ritza tiger thread.  I wet molded the sheath and let it dry a couple of days before finishing with Feibing's Leather sheen.  All applied with an airbrush.

Thank you. 

I made a knife/sheath for last year's event, and it sold far beyond what I had hoped.

Really nice looking set.

That knife would be a great EDC in my opinion. Hope the bidding goes high to help raise some funds.

Thank you. 

Blade is 3", and the knife is 7 1/2" total.  Fits my hand well.
