Members Instinctive Posted May 2, 2018 Members Report Posted May 2, 2018 Local knife maker (www.ripcustomknives) made a show knife for the upcoming Atlanta Knife Show and asked me to make a custom sheath for it. His theme is skulls and the knife is Japanese tanto style with a forged, 150+ layer Damascus steel blade, 10-1/4" long. Total length is 15-1/2". This is what I made him. Hand sheath with a removal belt holster. The carving is based on a Japanese style skull tattoo. Carved and dyed it in one piece, then cut down the middle to make the front and back. Quote
bikermutt07 Posted May 3, 2018 Report Posted May 3, 2018 Very good job. It's a shame you had to cut the cool carving in half though. It looked even better in one piece. Quote
garypl Posted May 3, 2018 Report Posted May 3, 2018 I like the sheath and knife - good job! Gary Quote
Members Instinctive Posted May 3, 2018 Author Members Report Posted May 3, 2018 Thanks all and yes @bikermutt07 is was a shame to cut it in half but the blade was only so wide. I'll aske him to make a cleaver next time. Quote
