that's really sweet, except that I feel the swedge should extend further towards the ricasso.:thumbup:Other than that, the components work really well together as far as looks go, and the proportions are really nice.
 
it looks great....is the blade etched?....it looks a little darker near the ricasso.....i'd agree with lorien about the swedge too....i love the wood....it looks like quite a fast fighter too....good job and having coop take a pic ain't bad either:thumbup:.....ryan
 
Nice job, Stephan! I think I see a little Sandy Morrissey influence in that sheath. It's a great job also.

Very nice Stephen. You are progressing nicely.
I like the short swedge.
Bet it's fast as lighten. :thumbup:

This sheath was actually made by Sandy as he was teaching me. So I guess it would be fair to say that it bears his influence :D:D

spot on fighter really like it . as asked before is the blade etched looks great
 
I really like the looks of that! Lean and mean! :thumbup::thumbup:
 
Great looking package. I really like how everything about the profile flows. If you have anymore of that Maple, you should get rid of it. And I know just the place.....:)
 
Slim and beautiful is what I would call it..........

All the best,
