One more just for fun.
So this one has been in the works for about 3 weeks I think. Of course, I only worked on it in my spare time. I finished sewing the sheath after church today. Some watch football, I did this. I have discovered why handmade leather sheaths cost so much. The hand stitching takes a lot of time. Its a fun hobby though.
The blade is 5.25" and handle is 4.75" OAL=10" Steel is an old Nicholson file and is about 5/32" thick. The handle is again the orange card stock and camo burlap homemade micarta. I also hand etched my mark into the blade, it is the same mark that I put on all my photographs as that is another hobby I have. Keep in mind that I do not make these to sell. If I think they are worthy, I give them away to friends and family. |

Need to get you some 1084 and do the ht kith brother. That thing is nice. I love both those knives and would be proud to exchange a knife with you in a kith.

That's a nice looking blade. The shape reminds me of a tanto. The traditional ones I mean.
