Here are a few pics of the sheath. Thanks for all of your help with this. It was my first wooden sheath. It it not perfect and was a lot of work, especially the fittings. But I think it came out ok and showcase the knife pretty well. The plan was to dye it but seeing it like this I think it looks better white.
As you can see, I did not dye the frog (not sure it's the right term) where it would rub against the sheath in the back for fear of the dye rubbing off. Same reason I left it off for now until it dries some more. Last thing I want is to stain that nice white deerskin.

Thanks for looking and again for your help.
 
I think a little bit of stain would do it some good... well not so much stain, but patina if you will, from use... but that's just me =\

Also I think the moniker of "Bone Collector" suits the build perfectly! Ruggedly handsome knife and a glistening sheath to match!
 
Um WOW, that is a treat for your eyes. there is alot to take in there, you did a fantastic job
 
Thanks for the good words guys.

Keo, I think that I will let the patina develop on it's own, enough work done on this one. ;)
 
I have three khukuris and these one is as nice or nicer than the ones that I got from Nepal. Well done!
