Sometimes plain can be...

just the right thing -
This pistol (or ball grip) style knife with bone handle (a common Spanish/French style blade and grip also borrowed by the English), handforged by Carlton Matteo of Michigann needed a period style sheath so here it is.

Showing how to attach to a belt or sash...

if the rawhide cover were to be removed inside is a surprise...

I made this sheath to be a "frontier repair" of the original Euro sheath it came with, so I copied the center sheath in the image above of several French originals and then "repaired" it with rawhide

Very cool! Is the inside sheath fully intact and stitched? I really like the simplicity of the "repair." The knife is beautiful as well!

Nice looking pair.
