Stingray Sheath

[Frederiek]

Showing you a sheath I made from veg tan with a stingray inlay. The knife is also by me

Hope you like it!!

That's really nice, what's the stingray feel like? Was it nice to work with?

[Frederiek]

It feels like... really coarse sandpaper but polished, it's flexible but the 'beads' (lacking a better word) are hard like glass. Cutting it in a straight line is almost impossible! Not easy to work with but very rewarding

[Kerryanne]

You did a braw job then, it is really cool.

Very nice, both the knife and the sheath.

Both are wonderful, love the stingray. You did a great job on centering the white spine.

[Bruce H]

Wow...Thats really, really nice!

The knife is excellent with good file work and a nice grind! What steel?

Thats one of the best dangler sheaths I've seen...X2 on centering the spine!

Been wanting to build a nice knife grinder and have had my eye on the polar bear grinder in a box.

Your skills are awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Very nice! I love the knife - the handle is spalted/rotted/maple? The sheath is lovely. Very clean, really cool use of the stingray.

Beautiful work on both the knife and the sheath... Stingray truly is rewarding to work with....

[Frederiek]

Thanks all very much!!

The steel is O1 with stainless corby bolts and mosaic pin, the wood is stabilised (vacuum treated with resin) spalted beech.

Beatiful work. The knife looks great too, I love that pattarn on back edge between the handle.

Haha :D Rayskin is widely available since it's a by-product. Do look for a source with a proper policy.
