Nicely Done Rick Lowe!

[Mistwalker]

Very nicely done Rick, a perfect compliment to the knife!

Sorry for the crappy pics, better ones later. The sky was very overcast and both the lens and UV filter are filthy after being out all night shooting urban photos in the rain...and I cleaned them a dozen times last night...

There is a lot to like about this sheath, the workmanship looks very good. I like the combination taco/pancake design - very clever! Mist your pictures still look pretty good

My thoughts exactly, very nice and very clever. I reeeeally like how the knife and sheath work together. The sheath compliments the knife very well!

Thanks man, I just don't think they do the sheath or the knife justice.

Thanks man, I really like how this one is turning out. I cook with a lot of onions, shallots, garlic, and potatoes so every time I cooked recently I made a little extra of things...sometimes of everything, and then minced it really fine and sort of applied it like a chunky paste to the blade and just let it sit for a while. That's about for or five applications, plus all of the cutting to start with. The longer you leave it sit the darker it gets. Shallot pieces left on it for quite a while made the darkest spots. It also stains the edge bevel, and then you have to sharpen or strop the stain off.

This is the other side, and a better pic

WOW! What a pair? The sheath and knife are simply beautiful. Look at the stitching and the two-tone dye contrast on that sheath...what a work of art. Thank you MS for taking these photos and sharing all you do with us. What you do is pretty awesome. :thumbup:

Rick makes awesome sheaths. Hes doing a piggyback rig for me right now actually. I'll get some pics up when it gets here.

Mist, that patina looks great. I love that knife more and more every time I see it.

They really are a heck of a pair! Rick's craftsmanship and artistry is very nicely done! He matched the sheath to the knife perfectly in shape style and color, I mean he just nailed it. Thank you for the compliments. Mainly I just try to capture the essence of a moment or a piece of someones work. People like Andy and Rick, who do such beautiful work, really make that a pleasure.

He does beautiful work, I have been watching for a while now. I am certain you will enjoy your piggyback rig, and I look forward to seeing it.

Thank you, I feel the same way, and I see it a lot

Thank you very much for this information! I really like this patina creation method, and will call it "The Mistwalker Method"!

Thanks man, glad you like it. I didn't invent the method, I just sped it up a bit
