Finished Last week. The knife is a Damascus Bowie I made 3 years ago.

beautiful job,amigo.

I like every thing about that sheath, Armin. A very professional piece of work. I assume the knife is every bit as spectacular!

Nice seath. I might have to try one of those.
How about showing us the rest of that knife?

:eek: Nice leather work indeed, but I love the knife! I like the way you didn't bevel the pommel, nice :)

Armin:
great job. I like the modified coffin handle on the knife, adds nice contrast.
I have a question about the sheath. why are the sides so wide, I know it is loop style, but I just want to know the wisdom behind so much protusion on the sides. sheath looks good nice work, better than I could ever make. just curious? don

The sheath is so wide because it's the first Mexican Loop Style I ever made, and so I didn't exactly know how wide I would need it.

Very nice take on the style Armin! I really like the basket stamp pattern which shows a lot of control, especially along the edges (most folks use a border stamp along the edge to even things out and to cover up any littel OOPS!

As for the width of the skirt - originals varied considerably - from practically non-existent to really wide - I'd a assume a matter of taste in most cases....
