Dirty Birds' New Clothes

[Dave Kelly]

I recently sent my first fixed blade, Dirty Bird to Mike Bartol (MtMike) for a sheath. I asked Mike to come up with a design that would go with this oddball knife. I recieved this in the mail today and I love it!! A very cool wrap around with a beautiful emu inlay.

Thanks again Mike, it's perfect.

i like that pair a lot...im a big fan of your bolster treatments. im liking this sheath too...something about the wrap around makes me think of a bird tucking his head under its wing

I'll throw in an "ooh" and an "aah".

That sheath is a GREAT compliment to the Dirty Bird!

Dave---that knife is a real eye catcher, and the sheath is a fine example of what it takes to make a wonderful combination. Mike is a personal friend (although we have never met) and he does make a very nice sheath that you should be proud to dress your blades.---Sandy---

I mentioned this over on the Sheath Gallery, but for those who may not have seen it -- giving credit where it is due -- Sandy was kind enough to send me a copy of this pattern with a beautiful sheath he made for my small Camerer bowie. Naturally I modified it for the Dirty Bird, but it's basically Sandy's pattern, and I loved the way it fits this style knife. Thank you my friend
