Knife and sheath for the OKCA show next month

[scottickes]

This knife is ready for the Oregon Knife Collectors Association show next month in Eugene. The leather work was done by Mike Tully. I love his sense of style. I do my own leatherwork, but have begun using Mike for some of my knives, just do to the fact that I love his work. My leatherwork is very basic in comparison to Mike's.

I hope you enjoy viewing this as much as I did the first time I saw it. He had the knife and sheath carefully wrapped like a Christmas package when he dropped it off at my house. I was dancing around the kitchen like a 5 year old. I loved it. He's working on 4 more sheaths for me, and I'm very excited to see what he comes up with.

I particularly love the attention to detail in matching the color of the stitching with the color of the spacers on the knife.

Enjoy! Feedback is welcome, both positive and negative.

Mike,
Chime in so that everyone knows your BF's screen name. Also, take a bow. You did fantastic work for me.

That sheath does look very good. I would love to see the whole knife.

Thanks Scott, glad you liked it. I have the second sheath done and should have the other three done by Friday. I am saving the Mammoth knife until last. bwahahahaha!

You site is looking great! You have gotten a lot done since I was over there!

On this one the sheath was made by Mike Tully. This first one is a small EDC out of 52100 and Stabilized California Buckeye. The fern tooling on the sheath is inlaid with Gold Leaf. Nice job Mike!!

This is a really nice little dagger point hunter. The handle is mammoth ivory, MOP and nickelsilver. Mike Tully made the sheath on this one too. Faux mammoth fur with a little decorative talon and beads. This is the coolest sheath one of my knives has ever been in! I'm looking forward to seeing the reactions to this knife in Eugene on April 12-13. I'm very happy with the knife and sheath.

Let me know what you think of this knife and the one in the previous post.

Thanks for looking!
