Members katsass Posted June 12, 2012 Members Report Posted June 12, 2012 From the old grump: Back on the 7th I posted a few pics of a pretty simple sheath. It was one of two that was ordered by a custom knife maker --- both knives being of identical pattern. With the first one almost done, I found that i miscalculated and had to dump it --- a loss of time and a chunk of nice brown sea snake. The new 'first' one included a chunk of 'gator, and came out OK. Now I have finally finished the second, which includes a chunk of skin of a big bird. The pair are different alhough they use basically the same pattern for construction. Here they are --- the 'second one first..

Members Sylvia Posted June 13, 2012 Members Report Posted June 13, 2012 I really like the yellow and black one with the little corset Quote A teacher pointed at me with a ruler and said "At the end of this ruler is an idiot." I got detention when I asked "Which end?"
Members katsass Posted June 13, 2012 Author Members Report Posted June 13, 2012 I really like the yellow and black one with the little corset Thanks Sylvia, I appreciate that --- It's actually very dark brown, to match the dark areas of the Sambar Stag scales in the haft.

Thanks a bunch. This was the first time I used 'gator --- just had a small piece and had nothing to do with it until a custom knife maker contacted me and asked for something 'different' for two of his blades. With he 'gator I was a bit cautious, with but the ostrich (being on of my favorite 'exotics') i was less so. He was pretty happy with the results.

Members Abram Posted June 14, 2012 Members Report Posted June 14, 2012 Beautiful sheaths and I really like the color combos. Quote
Members Eaglestroker Posted June 14, 2012 Members Report Posted June 14, 2012 Thanks for the picture Mike. Like the way you wrapped the lining around on the front, seen that a lot on El Paso Saddlery lined rigs. The two tone really sets them both off. -Robert Quote
