Recently completed custom work is this mini kephart with a<br />
tiger maple handle and brass pins/lanyard.<br />

The spine also has hand file worked thumb stops.<br />

This knife was set up to wear as a neck carry knife with a<br />
custom hand stitched leather neck sheath.<br />

The leather piece for the neck was hand cut and hand oiled, this was<br />
also left untied/knotted to be measured off by the owner.<br />

Below is a custom order knife. I just found photos of this as pics were<br />
taken when snow was still on the ground.<br />
<br />
This is one of my vintage aged frontier style belt knives from an<br />
original design<br />
<br />
The blade is both pattern and patina aged finish about 5 plus inches long.<br />
<br />
The spine has been file worked and the handle is aged black walnut.<br />
<br />
All the pins are brass.<br />
<br />
The sheath was hand stitched and a custom matching ferro rod was<br />
requested.<br />

My country bag that has a fishing kit inside, an ultra light<br />

<br />
This carry knife has been with me for awhile and now I am<br />
currently carrying this with a single piece of leather and cord<br />

I will post more about this in a different blog post as well as<br />
give you more details and info on how you can use this set up. <br />

One of the main things when it comes to knife sheaths,<br />
in my mind, is not only making a sheath that looks great<br />
but is also functional. The most important aspect is a full<br />
solid welt.<br />
<br />
For all of you that already know what a welt is on a<br />
sheath this may be a little redundant. This is for new<br />
readers, frequent readers of my blog, and visitors to<br />
my website that are looking for information and tips.<br />
<br />
A decent knife sheath shouldn't be a single piece<br />
of light weight plastic or leather. Simply folding<br />
over a piece of material, with a few rivets or a<br />
small light weight line of stitching, can be risky.<br />
<br />
This will only make the sheath and knife more<br />
dangerous inside the sheath especially if your in<br />
some back country, climbing a tree stand or<br />
any outdoor venture.<br />
<br />
A sharp knife blade can easily come through the<br />
side of a sheath that has no welt. A sharp knife can<br />
cut into flesh before you would even know it.<br />
<br />
So basically a welt almost acts like a guard for<br />
the blade. The pic below shows the side shot of<br />
one of my hand stitched sheaths with solid<br />
8 to 9 ounce leather. All of my sheaths have a full<br />
welt.<br />

This is a recently completed custom piece.<br />
<br />
The knife itself is a classic spear point design with a blade<br />
over 4 inches long both with pattern and patina aged finish.<br />

The spine was hand file worked.<br />
<br />
The handle is antiqued elk stag with a tight stitched forward<br />
haft of vintage aged rawhide.<br />
<br />
The sheath is one of my custom Frontier rawhide sheaths<br />
with a hard veg tan liner. The rawhide has been antiqued<br />
and cross stitched and laced with vintage aged trade beads,<br />
tin cones and horse hair. The copper piece (dangler)<br />
was also forged and shaped by hand. This sheath can be<br />

Some recent custom work posted below.<br />
<br />
This is a nice sized carry knife with a 2 plus inch pattern<br />
and patina aged blade.<br />
<br />
The handle is aged bone with a beautiful color.<br />
<br />
The sheath was antiqued and hand stitched with some<br />
custom tooling and carving on the face.<br />

This knife was a custom order based off of one of the<br />
knives that was listed on Available Knives <a href="http://www.mlknives.com/gallery1.html" target="_blank">Gallery 1</a> of my<br />
website.<br />
<br />
The design was based off of an original vintage belt knife<br />
but this version has a beefed up 3/16" spine.<br />
<br />
The handle is tiger maple with brass pins and the blade<br />
is over 5 inches long with a pattern and patina aged finish.<br />

This weeks post I am posting a custom carry knife that was<br />
set up for a neck carry knife but can also be carried<br />
on the belt if wanted.<br />
<br />
The blade on this knife is about 2 plus inches and the handle<br />
is stag with brass pins and rear lanyard hole.<br />
The leather through the hole has a handmade stag bead attached.<br />
<br />
The tooling on the sheath was all worked by hand as well.<br />
<br />

A recent custom order is posted below.<br />
<br />
This is one of my kephart fishers with a blade<br />

smaller than I normally make.<br />

The handle is black walnut with a lanyard<br />
hole.<br />
<br />
Two sheaths have been hand stitched.<br />
<br />
One is one of my square pocket sheaths<br />

This week I am posting a custom neesmuk knife set<br />
I recently completed.<br />
<br />
The knife has a beautiful tiger maple handle with<br />
brass pins and the blade has my pattern and patina<br />
aged finish.<br />
<br />
For the set a matching ferro rod was made and the<br />
sheath is a dangler that was hand stitched and<br />
made with a loop to hold the ferro rod.<br />
