Knife project finally finished
«

I picked up this 8" carbon steel knife blank with the silver guard at a local gun show a couple of years ago for a paltry $15. Someone had glued in place a stag handle from a carving knife. The workmanship was pretty bad so I cut it off, machined the german silver thimble and re-handled it. This week I finished the sheath. There is an inner sheath of 6oz leather with the backside edges butted together and stitched with a crossover stitch pattern. The outer cover is of 3-4oz leather with a standing seam along the backside. All in all, I am pretty pleased with it. The knife is well l balanced, but a bit more bling than I prefer for my persona.

I like it...you’ll just have to come up with a backstory on why your persona has such a nice knife! That sheath is very nice. 👍🏼
