I've still got a few of my late compadre, Gib Guignard's hand forged blades so I handled up this 4 1/2" dag style using a pair of coyote jawbones with buffalo rawhide wrap.

The neck sheath is braintan over a bark tan liner and the neck piece is braintan with red trade wool liner. The sheath is decorated with denatalium shells, glass, copper, and brass beads, fringe, tin cone and buffalo hair dangles.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

That is, if one can say it about a knife. Beautiful. Darryl

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.

Then I realised God doesn't work that way, so I stole

one and prayed for forgiveness.

Drum roll.......ta da - leather dye - I use Fiebings Spirit dyes in various mixes to get what colors I want - this was IIRC thinned dark brown, followed by rubbing down with 4/0 steel wool, and then a coat of my own home made violin varnish - a pretty good substitute is Tried & True's Oil Varnish.....
