Terrific stuff all around, but man, that first sheath is a truly stunning work of art. :eek:

Great work and excellent photos. That first sheath looks like one you would see in a museum.

Thanks for posting them.

Your ability to create your sheaths so cleanly and correct, however making them look as though they have naturally aged over 150 years is amazing.
They look like well cared for artifact museum pieces, rather than pieces that were recently made.

Thanks for sharing them.
 
Thanks all - these type knives and sheaths are my enduring passion and have become the only types I want to make except for the NT collaboration pieces I do with Tai that are always a pleasure and a challenge.......

Kevin - that states my raison d'autre exactly! I'd like to use that quote on my site with your permission of course??
 
Really very nice! I would love to handle and study each piece!
