Knife Cases for Obsidian knives

[BearMan]

Hello Everybody,

I know I haven't posted in a while, but here's a couple of my lastest items. My customer wanted a couple cases made for his old Obsidian style knives. He wanted them in the old style where they were worn around the neck, or over a shoulder. He said he didn't want any beads, or fringe, but he wanted them to look old. What do you think??

"VERY" Cool. Is that a piece of antler or bone you made the snap/ closer out of. I love that idea. Great work. Of course now I have to try to make that type of closer. Or should I say I will make that and use it on something.

Great job, especially like the lacing on the brown one.

Hi Tom, Yep thats an antler tip, with a groove cut into it, that snaps into the edges of the hole. There is a slightly larger area just behind the hole to help it snap in better. I've used that kind of "snap" before. People are always amazed how simple it is, & how well it works!

Bearman, I love that primitive stuff, and your sheaths are great. I like the neck knife and sheath especially. No need for a bowie knife when a couple inches of razor sharp edge will do. I carry a small neck knife whenever I'm backpacking, and I find it's very natural and convenient.

So, is the lacing on the first one sinew?

Ed,

I think you Nailed it!

Those are two nice looking sheaths, I think you are going to have a very happy customer.

There were a couple of guys at the Oregon Country Faire that were selling those obsidian knives, very impressive craftsmanship. Knapping those blades takes a lot of patience and know-how. They had some top-rate sheaths for them, but I think yours top them. Kudos!
