I started buying blanks and putting handles on them and making the sheaths about two weeks ago. Please be honest and tell me what you think. I just purchased a kiln and hope to starting making my own blades soon. I have learned alot from you guys thanks.

Nice work. Sheath's are looking real good

You've done what looks to be a good job on the sheaths. The handles look good, but I think you should round off the edge beside the ricasso.

the sheaths are really good (not that the blades are bad) but maybe you have found a calling

I've made a couple sheaths myself and yours are fantastic. Beautiful work on the stitching. Machine stitched?

Thanks guys. No the stitching is done by hand.

Nice work, and the sheaths (like others have said) are exceptional...
