Japanese Tanto Skull Sheath: Atlanta Knife Show Bound

Recommended Posts

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.

Very good job. It's a shame you had to cut the cool carving in half though. It looked even better in one piece.
