Fiddleback Convex Arete Sheath with Dangler

Diomedes Industries · Apr 24, 2012

This is one for me that I am getting around to posting pictures of. I spent a LOT of time with the knife before making it a sheath. A lot of time making the edge 'mine' with the convex. Andy's steel and heat treat are spot on on this blade. It is easy to sharpen - but takes maintains and edge very very well.

8-10 ounce leather
Sun tanned (needs a little more tanning) and finished with Mink Oil (just a little) and Montana Pitch Blend.
Edge dyed.

Hope you dig it.

I like it too. I keep kicking around getting one...and then discussing the philosophy of life and the knife with you.

Thanks guys. I am proud of this one. The knife design, the relationship with the maker and this board - and this one is one I think has no real flaws. It is in that 'Al Stohlman' simplistic design that is SO HARD to do.

I am very happy.

It's a good feeling when you look back and feel that you nailed it vs. man, wish I would have done ...
