Members DoogMeister Posted April 1 Members Report Posted April 1 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. Quote

CFM chuck123wapati Posted April 2 CFM Report Posted April 2 yup, you should pull down a few bucks that is a nice knife and sheath. Quote Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!
Members Mulesaw Posted April 3 Members Report Posted April 3 Really nice looking set. That knife would be a great EDC in my opinion. Hope the bidding goes high to help raise some funds. Quote

Members DoogMeister Posted April 12 Author Members Report Posted April 12 A successful event last night. The knife brought $120.00 for the local 4H. I was happy about that. Several other items did quite well. A hand made corn hole game decorated with a stars and stripes theme bought over $200. Quote
