I waited until I had decent pictures to post this.This is made mostly from salvaged materials. Steel liners, pins, and backspacer, deep etched wagon wheel wrought iron bolsters,saw steel blade with an antique finish. The scales are weathered oak that came from a barn I used to play in as a kid in the 60's, and it was falling down then! Sheath is rawhide over veg-tan with deerskin fringe, The rawhide had a small patch of fur left on it, and I incorporated that in as well. Tin cones, horsehair, and antique trade beads finish it off, and it can be worn around the neck on a braided lanyard, or on a belt via a small belt loop. Comments welcome!

One of the rawest designs I've seen. The sheath is is a perfect match for this! Love it!
