A recent custom knife posted bleow with a
blade a bit over 4 inches long, with both
pattern and patina aged finish.

The spine was hand file worked and the handle

The leather sheath was antiqued and hand stiched.
All the tooling and carving of the deer scene

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

Beavertail Hunting and Skinning knife....Sheath work Info

This is one of my custom order Beavertail Hunting and skinning
Knives.

This one was ordered with a custom ferro rod to go with
the sheath.

The blade on these have a cross forged pattern as well as
the rear steel but end of the knife.  The spine is also file
worked (jimped).

Handle is Tiger maple with large brass pins and the
sheath was hand stitched with free hand tooled and carved
work on the face.



























Sheath work Information.
As most of you know I  make knives for a living and also do a
deal of leather work.   All of my sheaths are hand worked and hand stitched by me.

I also stitch sheaths for other knives when I am asked.  I get a fair amount of
requests for sheath and custom leather tooling work.  Keep in mind if you
want me make a sheath for any knife I do need the knife shipped to me so I
can wet form the leather to the knife.  Nothing else will work, cardboard
cut outs, tracings wont make for a decent sheath.
