Spring starts 3-20-11(Sun) so its time to make room for new projects. I can't forge in the winter(real job and short days) so this winter I remodeled old knives and made period style sheaths for them instead of watching TV and turning the rest of my burned out brain to jelly.
Old Forgecraft Hi-Carbon Butcher
Knife is 13" overall w/ 8" blade
Added some tacks, rawhide "repair" wrap and linen cord wrap around bolster.
Aged blade and handle
Sheath is Crow/Blackfoot style with belt cutout(Belt goes over sheath and through cutout)
All leather is reused from a leather bag and a coat.
The cuff is braintanned scrap and the beading pattern from a photo
of a pipe bag.
Stitched with linen and some brass tacks
Sheath is 13" x 4 1/2" w/ 8" of fringe
Finished w/ homebrew dye, dirt, grease and varnish
$200.00 Shipped PayPal or USPSMO Thanks.....Randy

. My granddad used to swear by them green river knives and the old hickory butcher knifes. He used to trap fur back in the day mostly fox and mink... I only have the green river hunter models. I think I have 4 GRs including two of his personal knives that I'll never get rid of(he has passed). If you PM me your address I really would like to send you one of my own. I ask nothing in return except pictures of the finished product then you can do whatever you want to with it. I just would want to see more customized pieces by you. Just for the sake of art.
