immiketoo Report post Posted November 26, 2012 Looks great! Good job with the dye. Did you resist the skull first or be very careful? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ash Report post Posted November 26, 2012 hi, thank you both: I resist it with Super Shene before apply gel antique, but it doesn't work with the spirit dyes I got, so I had to be very careful and use very small brushes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peter Darby Report post Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) Looks great. I especially like the way you matched the sheath colors to the knife colors. Edited November 26, 2012 by Peter Darby Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HellfireJack Report post Posted November 26, 2012 That looks good. How does it attach to the wearer? Or is is just a sheath? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ash Report post Posted November 29, 2012 thank you.. for the edges, first I grind with the belt grinder with P120... then by hand with P240 - 600 - 1200, then burnish applying water and rubbing with bone folder and finally dyed and finished with cream polish (with wax) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
