Ground this Mike Lovett inspired knife last week and got around to heat treating and making the sheath. The blade is O1 from 1/8" stock and is about 1/16" in blade thickness. I left the handle as heat treated finish to provide better rust resistance and give it a more unique look. The sheath is made from veggie tanned leather dyed and burnished, and I designed it to be reversible so that the knife can go in facing left or right in case you forget and don't end up cutting a hole, but won't wiggle either. Hope you guys like it, criticisms welcome!

A true 'pocket-knife'....really fine job.

Thanks for the pictures. :)
 
Thanks Mark, I found that the reversibility was a feature was definitely handy, just a little bit on the bulky side, although that might be a function of the width welt I made. It's not going to cut itself out of there any time soon haha. By the way, I checked out your work - that's some amazing stuff you have there with those textures!
