Knife Vs sheath

I read the title and thought, “Knife VS Sheath really, I’ve never given 5% consideration for the sheath!”.
Now that second one has me re-examining nearly every fiber of my being.

I was thinking the same thing after seeing that one. I like the idea of using a frog like that too.
 
Each sheath is so well matched with the blade. Beautiful work all the way around
 
I agree, nice sheaths! I also read "Yes, let's explore various options and share ideas!" Some of my customers accept a hunter with a stand.. Few want just a knife. Most expect a sheath. I prefer to do all my own work, and simply am not great with leather, do not have a feel for it. Over maybe 30 years I have made sheaths from my own raw materials. Hollow fossil bones, mammoth ivory, and wood. I enclose some pictures and hope it inspires other artistic knife makers IMGP0416.jpegknife artifact5 sheath inlay  608.jpgneck wolf mam 2  715.jpg
 
Wow those are really terrific Allain! And you're right - I have more than a few blades in need of worthy sheaths.
