My first inlay and embossing

[kaizo]

Hi everyone I've just made my first ever inlay+embossing sheath so I just wanted to ask for your opinion. I'm still getting used to my embossing stamp and stingray but here goes:

I'm particularly bad at aligning the stamps but hopefully I will improve on that soon

Also I should have used an ivory micarta or something with a similar colour tone to that of stingray's but I really wanted to use the mother of pearl kirinite so please excuse the colour clash.

Please excuse the knife as well. That was my second attempt at a handle and I haven't received the buffing drill bit yet so it looks quite bad at the moment but hopefully that will be fixed soon!

Please give me some feedback so that I could improve my shortfalls on my next sheaths


Thanks for your help everyone!

No complaints here. That is a very clean job as far as I am concerned.

Looking great Brother.
I personally like rounded corners is the only thing I would say.

Thanks guys!

Hmm I haven't tried rounded corners yet. I'll go grab some coins to stencil the outline and give that a go for my next one!
