Rawhide knife sheath

[Vikti]

As a whole, I don't really care about the looks of rawhide, but I really like what you did Hushnel. Super great job!

Thanks, I didn't know rawhide needed processing, other than de-hairing and scrapping. I’ll have to check out the process.

Well, I haven't been around much, like the scatterbrain I am, I go from one project to another. I guess I was so glad to stop doing the custom motorcycle seats that I've only been doing utilitarian leather work. Just making stuff I need or a little custom stuff for friends. I figured I would just respond to this thread I started quite a while ago.

I did a few more of the rawhide sheaths and started making knifes again. I'll post a few, I did make sheaths for each of them.

This one I kind of got carried away with, adding gator scutes and bling.

These are a few of the knives I've made, the first two are made by stock removal out of D-2 tool steel then professionally heat treated.

This is the sheath I made for it.

This is the biggest of the four D-2 knives 10 3/4" overall length with a 5 1/2" blade. both of these knives are hilted with Black Cherry Burl.

And it's sheath.

This is the last one I'll show and the only one I managed to keep for myself. The handle is made from stacked leather disks, below it is a fire starting ferro rod I also added stacked leather to. This blade is made by Enzo and is 01 tool steel.

Thanks for looking, I'm playing at a ukulele festival tomorrow and spending the day making up ukulele straps Ya'all have a good weekend.
