A neck knife custom with stag and a tooled pocket sheath

This weeks post I am posting a custom carry knife that was
set up for a neck carry knife but can also be carried
on the belt if wanted.

The blade on this knife is about 2 plus inches and the handle
is stag with brass pins and rear lanyard hole.
The leather through the hole has a handmade stag bead attached.

The tooling on the sheath was all worked by hand as well.
























Another tooled piece was hand worked on this square pocket sheath
of a custom tree and mountain scene.



























Thank you

A recent custom order is posted below.

This is one of my kephart fishers with a blade

smaller than I normally make.

The handle is black walnut with a lanyard
hole.

Two sheaths have been hand stitched.

One is one of my square pocket sheaths
the other is a horizontal, both in an antiqued
dark brown.






























Thank you

A custom Nessmuk Knife

This week I am posting a custom neesmuk knife set
I recently completed.

The knife has a beautiful tiger maple handle with
brass pins and the blade has my pattern and patina
aged finish.

For the set a matching ferro rod was made and the
sheath is a dangler that was hand stitched and
made with a loop to hold the ferro rod.


All of my Sheaths are individually hand cut without a template from veg tan leather.
They are hand stitched and antiqued one at a time.

Thank you
