The knife, hand-forged and built by the late Gib Guignard aka CactusForge, with a sheath by me, aka Wild Rose Trading = CactusRose 21

The rig was inspired by the fancy rigs worn by Texas Rangers in the 1920-30's. The owner didn't want that fancy though, so I came up with a carving pattern inspired by the carving on 18th Century American Long Rifles, built in Pennsylvania where the owner hails from. The holster, knife sheath, and the belt are all lined with calfskin and the rig is entirely handsewn. The metal throat on the sheath is nickel silver to match the knife's fittings and the small concho is Sterling silver. All parts are lightly aged....
 
Outstanding rig! I love that style of carving and the color gives it a fantastic look. The bar just keeps on getting raised higher and higher doesn't it? The only thing I can see that might give me a problem with a rig like this is it is left handed. I might also need a new 45 to go along with a belt and holster that looks that good, as mine seems to have a few more miles on it than the one shown.
 
If Jim Bowie was around I am sure this is what he would carry!

I love how the knife guard blends with the sheath.
 
Beauty of knife sheath combination. I really like the way you, fitted out, the top of the sheath. Really nice!

I'd wear that out dancing. Under my coat of course.:cool: Fred
