that's some fine leather work, too.
Those are some shapely triplets;):p
 
That last pic is too cool. :) Knives and sheaths all look very nice indeed. If a guy had three sons, his Christmas shopping would be done early.

VERY nice work. Both knives and sheaths. I also like the carving on the top of the handles.

Those knives look fantastic, as do the sheaths, but what is a tirplet, and why did you do them?

Thanks keith, A Tirplet is what you get when you are a two finger pecker and your er gets ahead of your peck, either that or I jest can't spel.

I made them because I wanted to make a pay back knife for a freind that helped me out a lot when I was working on the house. He's a woodworker and likes antiques and old tools so I thought this pattern and materials would appeal to him nicely. I liked the combo enough that I made 2 more since I was at it.


Thanks all for the kind complements
