Sheath I just finished
« on: May 17, 2011, 05:40:37 PM »
Here is the latest project I have been working on. A friend of my Dad's had this knife and asked if I could make him a sheath for it. He left the design, and style up to me. The last picture is of my daughter for a size comparison.

Please let me know what you think.

The sheath is beautiful you turn out some nice products. Your daughter is going to be a heartbreaker---keep your shotgun handy Daddy. So you are batting a 1000 with children, knives and sheaths all gorgeous productions. "Doc"

That's not a sheath, it's a scabbard.
Didn't pick up on the size until the last photo.
Good job.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. The fellow that owns the knife was extremely happy with it.

David, the inlay is alligator hide that I got out of the scrap box at a Tandy leather store.
