Thank you very much Peter! The sheath... It is the second because I wrong the first.
I mistook the inclination of the superior part of the sheath and so...

So, with the new sheath, I have changed the inclination and all ok :thumbup:

That is beautiful! Nice work indeed. The Python skin is a CITES species that needs permits to travel outside of the EU. Be careful if you travel with this sheath.
 
AMAZING knife and matching sheath. I love the curves of the blade and handle. The Snakewood just sets it off for me and with the matching sheath it really just pops!
 
totally awesome... best knife I have ever laid eyes on... Wish I had that skill... Z

Thank you shotgunner, but it was only a clipping of an old jacket and the knife (and the sheath) it will stay to my home in my private collection (it is not for sale) :)

Stefano ........... being Italian, you've obviously inherited an "old world" flair for flow and movement in your designs, with artistic application toward the new world. Hand finishing the blade is very tedious work, but the end result is outstanding. I really like how you "married" that little touch of Snakewood in the handle with the python skin in your sheath. The whole package was beautifully conceived and executed. To date, this is my favorite ST, with the box elder handled Persian 2nd.

Fantastico amico!
