Recently had the pleasure of having 4 Corbett Sigmon hunters here to have sheaths made. Us old timers know Sigmon as one of the long time greats of knifemaking.
My lousy pics dont do them justice but thought you might like to see them anyway.The handles are gorgeous Brazilian rosewood and the steel is Corbetts high carbon. And yes, I'm weak, the drop point hunter belongs to me:D
 
Ahhhh... you also scored my favorite of the pack! It's good to give respect and appreciate makers who have been around.

You are doing some fantastic leather work, as usual. Now your straight blade sheaths are as good as they get. Congrats!

Great looking hunters Dave ,the leather is not too bad either.:p
Nice score on the drop point.
 
Hey Dave, I finally found mine last night! I will take a pic tonight and post it here later. :)
 
Here's a crappy pic of my new Sigman hunter. Corbet used some kind of stabilized maple on this one. Sharp little bugger. I already cut myself.
 
Other side. Remind me to wipe off all fingerprints before taking a close up shot next time. :)

Lifter,

Looking good, can't wait to see this in person. Personally, I've
become a fan of the semi-skinner.
Danbo, I like the longer handle on yours. I have an older Herron with that handle style.
The sheaths really are nice, I think I know a few happy people. When you do the Fikes sheath, be sure to use cut resistant leather. ;)

NICE STUFF GUYS! :D

Hey Coop, maybe you can give us a few pointers on how to take better pics of our knives at the next meeting.
 
Hey Win, the handle on mine is not actually longer. The blade is just smaller and pointier than the rest of them. The handle is just big enough for me to get 4 fingers comfortably on, and I like it that way in this case. I have plenty of big, honkin knives. ;)
 
Good photos, Lifter. Try different settings and angles of the camera in the event you are shooting digital. Then pick out the best one of the bunch.

Another idea, if you have a tripod, you can shoot them individually for the best lighting in each instance, the tripod maintaining the same distance from the knives, and then stich them together using an image editor.
