Wow, that must've taken a while! I've never really seen anything that intricate before. I'd really be interested to see something like this woven with a few dyed strands to add contrast. Great work!

Horacio custom made the sheath and did the rawhide work on the knife in the link below which shows its creation from start to finish. Trust me, there is no real need for contrasting colors as the various direction changes of the weave patterns is contrast enough. I was quite honored to get a piece of his work.

WOW that is a great looking sheath and handle and the tutorial was very interesting i always wondered exactly how the seam was sown on those types of sheaths.
 
Thank you very much for your comments, I'm happy the tientos are appreciated so much, I was happyly surprised for that.

Thank you Paul my friend.

Lin, you'll have one of my knife soon and I hope not to disappoint you.

mkhop, when I have some extra time I'll write an explanation on the seams.

Regards,
Horacio
