Mike Williams Bowie, Kenny Rowe Sheath

[RogerP]

Hey guys n' gals,

About the only downside to the purchase of my Mike Williams bowie at last year's Spirit of Steel show was that Mike had finished it up just a couple days earlier and hadn't made a sheath.

The upside to that was that Kenny Rowe was also at the show, and took a tracing and detailed dimensions and an order from me for a sheath :

I was a bit uncertain about how good of a fit could be realized if the sheath-maker did not have the knife in hand (and in fairness, Kenny said this could only be done with certain styles of sheath) but there was no way I was parting with my new bowie for any length of time.

I needn't have worried. Knife and sheath fit like hand and glove. This is one of Kenny's pin-lock models with ray skin insert:

This is the first sheath that I have had with ray skin and I have to say I like it a lot. Very cool pebbled texture and the stuff feels as tough as all get-out.

Thanks Kenny!

Roger

Hey Roger, Glad to see your taking such good care of my knife

Thats a mighty fine hide suit to dress up a hansom Blade - Superb combo.

I have been to the last coupla SOS shows and I NEVER saw that beautiful piece of functional art.
WOW.

Just lovely

 

[Danbo]

Extremely lovely!

 

[Keith Montgomery]

That looks ok (better than ok actually).

 

[Bladeandbarrel]

That is a great combo.

Good thing danbo didn't pick the sheath, he would have used rattlesnake or something really ugly!

Thanks guys.

bennytheblade,

Since you missed it at the show, here is Mike with the knife:

And a pic of the bowie together with a very slick fighter that I would have loved to take with me as well:

Cheers,

Roger
