Members Instinctive Posted September 6, 2017 Members Report Posted September 6, 2017 I can finally post these now that the contest is open. A special commission to create custom knife sheaths for TripleX Knives in Nova Scotia (www.xxxknives.com) for a global Instagram contest they are running. If you have an Instagram account to can view the contest details here until October 5th: https://is.gd/k8oE6I Large knife has a 9" blade. 30 deg cross draw with a removal dangler option. Small knife is a 3.5" blade with a dangler. Had free reign on these so took the opportunity to work on my carving and coloring techniques.

Members kiwican Posted September 6, 2017 Members Report Posted September 6, 2017 Very nice. I like a bit of relief carving! Quote
Members battlemunky Posted September 6, 2017 Members Report Posted September 6, 2017 I generally like tighter stitching than that but you kinda killed it dude, those look great, especially the one with the wider spacing on the stitches. I love a dangler sheath too. I'm really liking looking at these two. Quote

I use to do a lot of that 25 years ago. Was glad I could still remember how to do it! Quote Eric Fisher Fisher Custom Leather "A Retirement Project" https://fishercustomleather.wordpress.com/

Not sure if you can see it but the stitching is a a double row of .05 (1.3 mm) Maine Thread saddle stitch. Same on the small one. Very sturdy.
