Yes there is a sheath in the picture. This has got to be a first for me. Actually had the sheath done before the knife. I've been trying to make at least one sheath a day for little better than a week now. I got tired of doing sheaths so I started working on this knife. Its got a W-2 blade thats just over 7" with a curly maple handle and wrought iron fittings. This one also has a peened threw tang instead of my usual nut and ring. Little over 12" overall.

You've got some really kickass maple you've been working off of lately, Ray!
You're staining technique brings out great contrast.

Nice!:thumbup:

This is from the instrumental grade curly maple. Think I told you I almost went natural with it on one of the other knives. This is the most perfect curly stuff I have ever seen. Reminds me of the stuff growing out of my ears..... :D

Nice Ray! I really like these handles.:thumbup:
Do I detect a little "curly" dye job on the sheath to match the handle?

Bill, I've got the OKCA Show in two weeks. Then the knife making presentation in Canada in May and then Blade. I got my packet for the Blade Show but no table number yet. Most likely it will be the same as last year in the homemade section. Most likely I'll be turning knives over to Blade Gallery after the Oregon Show unless I sell out first....... ya right!
