New Sheath For An Old Knife

[jkwparrott]

Probably 38 years or so ago my grandfather made some knives for his grandsons, there were four of us. He was a machinist and gathered together materials that he thought would be nice for knives, which he hand made over several months. Mine was a walnut handled knife that is very pretty, but useful. All these years the knife has been sitting around with no sheath, so I decided to make one for it. I had never made a sheath before and wanted something a little bit rustic looking to go along with the knife. Here is the result.

It is hand stitched and tooled, but as I said, I wanted a rustic, unfinished look. I guess I should have a photo of the knife too.

From the grump: I like the thing. Looks like a good, solid piece of work for a first sheath, but would like to see the blade also. mike
