Thanks Diamond J but I have received a couple of e-mails telling me how ugly the sheath is. (My wife likes it) :

Drew; I like your knife.... a good grind with a little rough left for sport.

Rawhide sure looks a lot better than kydex! And that one is pretty no matter what the
other e-mails say.

I like your frontier package. :thumbup::thumbup:

Honestly I'm not familiar with rawhide scabbards, I think this is the first I've seen actually. But I like that its different, uncommon, and that you went out of "the box" perse and tried something new. Kudos:thumbup:

Nice Scabbard and knife too. I bet this would be excellent for butchering up your deer, elk or moose and could double as the Sunday roast carver.
Great 'package' for $160 ! Knife alone is worth that.

NICE knife Gerry. Do you waterproof that rawhide?

Very nice, Very nice indeed!!!!!:thumbup::thumbup:

Lots of character in that sheath. I'd call it a "Hudson's Bay" knife but it's a butcher knife however you look at it. Very nice!

Somebody into cowboy action shooting would love to have that outfit Gerry. Do a search for Cowboy Action Shooting and put it on one of those sites, bet it won't last long.

Is that a big warp in the blade in picture 3? or are my eyes playing tricks?

The knife is straight, just a funny camera angle on the up-swept blade.

It looks like mixed revues on the scabbard. If anyone is interested in the knife but hates the scabbard I will make one similar to this.

I think the sheath fits that knife perfectly. It's a frontiersman skinner and that looks like a frontiersman sheath. They work perfectly together. I could see a mountain man wearing it and using that knife.

I like the frontier scabbard. The only change I might suggest is to keep the collar the same color as the body. The combo of knife + sheath is pretty darned cool. It looks like you could skin a whale with that knife, then split kindling for a fire to roast the meat with.

 

[drducati]

I agree. I like the rawhide. Unique these days and very much appropriate to the period.
