Rossr Posted November 26, 2019 Report Posted November 26, 2019 Just finished this one tonight. Knife is a stock removal blade I made from O-1 tool steel. Handle is elk antler bolster and womans tongue wood. I was happy with how the sheath turned out. Wicket and Craig saddle skirting, green deer skin liner, carved oak leaf and basket weave stamping. Stitched on a needle awl Randal Campbell sewing machine. As always constructive criticism welcome Quote
Rockoboy Posted November 26, 2019 Report Posted November 26, 2019 Sheath and blade go together really well. The white thread is a bit of a statement. Nice job.

Thanks rockoboy. I always like the white thread contrast. However some do not. I could dye it of course . Or gasp but colored thread and change it Quote

Members YinTx Posted November 26, 2019 Members Report Posted November 26, 2019 Nice! and tiny basketweave too. I find that is more difficult to do than it might seem. YinTx Quote YinTx https://www.instagram.com/lanasia_2017/ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK6HvLWuZTzjt3MbR0Yhcj_WIQIvchezo

Members JazzBass Posted November 27, 2019 Members Report Posted November 27, 2019 Wonderful! The rolled edge of the deerskin over the opening of the sheath is a REALLY nice touch that I don't believe I've seen before....and done so cleanly! Beautiful! Quote Christopher J.

Members SilverForgeStudio Posted November 28, 2019 Members Report Posted November 28, 2019 I appreciate the rivets on the bolsters- with horn/antler it can get slick fast- those look to be just a bit proud and "knobby" which in this case look awesome with the style and the need for a grip. Great line- is that a false swedge on the spine or is it flat? Looks nice indeed- the sheath- is quite the match as well! Love the tooling and as others pointed out the thread choice! Kerri Quote

Kerri Hi Kerri, I agree on the pins on the bolsters. In this case the are a bit proud I carefully penened them over then buffed them to smooth them. It will allow some grip. The bolsters are also epoxied on as well. I like the knobby look in this case so I didn't sand and smooth them all the way after peening. On the angled part of the spine is a false swedge. Extensing to the tip. More for looks then anything else. Good eye? Thanks for compliments. I try hard to produce a quality product that is pleasing to look at as well as functional! Happy Thanksgiving all Ross Quote
