Just like any maker I have files full of designs drawn or doodled over the past 10 years, I've designed a few with small companion knives. Made this prototype to see how the set would work out both knives and the sheaths. I'll probably change the small one though, for a 2 finger it's comfortable especially with the cord but think I'll change the handle shape and make it a 3 finger instead.
Before making a couple sets thought I would ask your opinion. The thong/lanyards obviously can be easily removed or changed, the large sheath can be worn with or without the center strap, it's held on with a couple Chicago screws. The small sheath can be worn separately or strapped to the larger sheath, I added the tie down eyelets to the bottom of both sheaths but can easily be cut off if not wanted.
Large knife:
6 1/2" from tip of blade to handle, hamon polished then hand satin finish 1095 blade
Natural canvas Micarta scales with black G10 liners on tapered tang
10 7/8" o.a.l.
Deer lined w/ roll top pouch sheath
Small knife:
3" from tip of blade to handle, hamon polished 1095 blade
Natural canvas Micarta scales w/ black G10 liners
5 1/4" o.a.l.
Deer lined w/ roll top pouch sheath
Your opinions, suggestions are welcomed,
Thanks for looking,
Dave
Couldn't get a decent pic of the blade, try to ignore the dirty looking blade finish

I particularly like the profile on the little one, but the hamon on the big one is something else!
