My First Inlay

[electrathon]

I made this sheath for a friend. The knife was his, not one I made.

The inlay is ratle snake, dyes with medium brown Fiebings, sealed with Aussie wax. I wanted it to come out looking nice but a little used/rugged. Did not want a showpiece he was afraid to wear and scratch.

I would say for your first inlay it looks really good. Very  functional sheath. What can you tell us about the knife?

I gave it to the guy, he was very excited.

The knife is damascus. I did not take a pic of it pulled out of the sheath. It was a blank that he bought and then installed the handles on. I am hoping he cleans up the edges of the handle a little more.

I like the "distressed" look a lot. Very nice.
