3 finger drop point.. knife fit to sheath..

Howdy folks,

I just finished up this lil 3 finger drop point over the weekend.. It was a custom order where I had to make the knife to fit the sheath.. Somehow the customer lost the original knife when she took it out of the sheath so she wouldnt lose it.. go figure...

I dont make full tangs very often so it was good to get back to the basics. I hope you enjoy the pics..

Anyways.. here are the specs:
O-1 tool steel blade
2 3/4" blade and 2 3/4" handle
Nickel silver pins and stainless steel thong hole.
Ironwood handle
Leather sheath: Unknown crafter





Cheers,
Jerid

Great looking little knife - nice and clean. I'm curious - what does the woman use the knife for that would require such a sheath?

Thanks for the compliments on the knife guys... The owner of the sheath is a horseback rider who wears it when she rides... I must say I really liked the sheath and how it rides on the waist.. I personally would position the knife a bit differently (blade down/forward) but its very cool none the less.

Ah hah - that makes sense. It reminds me of a butterfly holster for a pistol - this is the first time I've seen that application for a knife though.
