Something fishy.....

[Raymond Richard]

Here's another idea I was able to try on a sheath. Started out thinking about doing a barracuda but it involved into some other species. Maybe a sardine. The fishy knife has a 52100 blade, sambar stag handle, with one tiny piece of wrought iron for the butt cap. From where the blade comes out of the handle its 5 1/2" and overall its just under 10". The little skinner has a 3 1/2" 1084 blade, deer antler handle, and wrought iron fittings. It is just under 8" overall. I plan to have these with me in Little Rock.

Both are awesome Ray, love that leaf shaped blade.

Both are awesome Ray, love that leaf shaped blade.

That sums up my thoughts precisely...that leaf shaped blade is VERY eye catching. The ricasso handle transition looks great. The head of the fish has a cuda look but the body looks a bit short. Nice leather molding work though.

Very interesting work. Both the knives and the sheaths.

Both of them are very nice Ray, and "out of the box" thinking, I like that

Those are very cool Ray! Next I picture a short sword, so you can do a whole totem pole on the sheath!!

Love them both! The sheath work is so very cool!

Those are cool. We might need to see a wip on these someday. Nice work.
