If you've been around handmade knives for awhile, you've no doubt either heard of or seen Mr. W.D. Pease and the knives he makes. He is mostly known for his beautiful folders, but he does make a few of his fixed blade patterns every year.
I recently had the honor of receiving 6 knives from Mr. Pease to make sheaths for, these are known as his swinger models, and he supplied the swinger style clips to be used instead of belt loops.
Here's the first 2 I sent back to him.

And here's the other 4 knives. The stag and sheephorn he used is absolutely gorgeous.

I should have posted this first in the original post.
Thank you to Win Heger for your friendship and trust. Without Win, this never would have happened.

What a great looking bunch of knives. That stag is outstanding. Those sheaths look really nice as well.

I do believe the bottom knife is the only Pease recurve I've ever seen!

Nice.

David, the sheaths are most fitting for the knives, your work is beautiful!!!!!

What is the handle material on the very bottom knife?.....WOW!!!!

Looks like sheephorn, Wolfdude.
Very nice one and all.

I'm sure Mr. Pease will be pleased.
Dave, sheath making has its hazards, like falling for the knives.
Ira, the bottom two are in fact Sheephorn. I got the Wharncliffe yesterday and the Sheephorn is awesome, can't wait to see the semi-skinner.

The top knife is a "boot style" and Dave tells me the Stag is as nice as he's seen lately.
