Some knives I have finished, sheaths too

[SkogKniv]

At the moment I don't make my own blades but I would like to fix that soon enough. All I finish are personal users or gifts to family and friends.

First up is my Bernie Garland woodlore clone.
I handled this with white corian and 5/16th pins and tube. Black fiber liners.

Next one. I got this little convex blank from a friend on youtube. Made it from a small antique file. This has cocobolo scales and 5/16th pins and 1/4 tube. No liners

These two were quick Christmas gifts, I also did the sheaths as well. Sheath work is a bit rough but as of late coming together well I think.
Both are maple burl handles and brass pins. Both have been buffed out since these pictures.

This is my latest. Another Bernie Garland woodlore clone blank. I handled it with Polymer stabilized Birds eye Maple, with loveless bolts and 5/16 brass tube. Black fiber liners. I based it off the later woodlores alan was producing with a thicker handle shape. Much more comfortable in my opinion.

These are a couple other sheaths I have done.

This is one for my axe, both sheaths are hot waxed.

This one for my knives of course.

Good stuff, Skog! I haven't seen this much of your work in one post. You're pretty damn skillful. That latest WL blank you handled came out exceptional. Keep em coming!

Thanks, I did some "figuring it out" before I jumped into that one. I think I dialed in the shaping quite well now.

This is a HillBill blank. I handled it with stabilized curly maple-black liners, and 5/16" brass pins.

Recycled sheath leather. Hot waxed.
