Hey everyone, just wanted to drop in and post some photos of my work. I just started making in February and have to date completed and sold only 16 total. Hoping to double that by Christmas though. Anyway, here are a few pictures of my most recent stuff.. Thanks for looking.

Nice. Nice leather work as well. Good luck.
What steel/steels are you using or available to choose from.
Great idea matching stitching with handle liners
 
Very nice FF! Your creating some really cool pieces there and your sheaths are VN as well. Keep up the good work!
 
Thank you, guys! The brown/green sheath actually wasn't finished as I'm sure you noticed. I was excited and took the photos too early then forgot to take more before shipping it off. Just felt like I needed to add that disclaimer.

I've always been a believer that a great sheath adds so much extra value to a fixed blade. I do some kydex work when it's specifically requested, but I think the time and effort with leather yields a much better result.

I'm only working with 01 tool steel right now, but I'm about a week away from my evenheat kiln arriving and I will soon be getting into A2 and some stainless as well.
 
Your thoughts mirror mine with sheaths. How about magnetic retention on a leather sheath?
Again excellent work and wish you success with your endeavor.
 
Instead of a strap. A good rare earth magnet countersunk in the leather, then covered with some type of felt(scratchless) liner. Your leather looks thick enuff
For the strap would be different too. I like that idea too
