A Custom Nordic Hunter

[PetahW]

Once upon a time, I traded into this custom knife with laminated blade & wood/leather sheath by Loodh @ a gun show - and thought it might be of some interest here.

AFAIK, the main body of the sheath is Birch, the knife handle is Walnut (?) with a (Reindeer ?) horn butt cap.

Very nice sheath work though it makes the knife seem larger !

I like that carving on the sheeth
How is it darkened?

I thought I pretty nice, myself - why I traded for it.

IDK exactly how Loodh made it, but the blue flower centers appear to be inlays, and the darker lines of the petals & sheath borders appear to be scrimshaw.

A nice find looks like some really nice detail work ... with a sheath that really pops. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks for the kind words, folks - I'm happy with it.
