rawcustom Posted April 14, 2015 Report Posted April 14, 2015 Just finished up a fillet knife with mammoth ivory handle and made my first scandinavian style sheath. Carved a wooden insert from poplar and my client liked the ivory for having an "old from the sea look", so I did a scrimshaw type carving to match. Quote
Members Bruce H Posted April 14, 2015 Members Report Posted April 14, 2015 Whoa! I like it a lot...I love the squared off bolsters and raised pins, plus the ivory plus the sheath! I love the lengthened belt loop strap to drop it down at bit. This does pivot...Right? REALLY NICE WORK! Quote
rawcustom Posted April 14, 2015 Author Report Posted April 14, 2015 Thanks Bruce! And yes I didn't fully capture in the pics but it has a steel ring connection between the belt loop and sheath. I like the fusion of old world look with state of the art steel and performance. Quote
Members Rohn Posted April 14, 2015 Members Report Posted April 14, 2015 Very nice sheath. I like it a lot! Quote
Members Basically Bob Posted April 16, 2015 Members Report Posted April 16, 2015 Beautiful sheath ... The knife is amazing! Quote
rawcustom Posted April 19, 2015 Author Report Posted April 19, 2015 Thank you. Spring time I get more requests for the fishing knives, but usually my smaller neck knives. The scandinavian style sheath has some distinct advantages for the the longer thin fillet knives with the carved wooden insert. About to start the next one that is about twice the size of the fillet knife on this thread, so glad I got in some practice first. Thanks again for all the comments. Quote
