I'm no John Cohea
« on: November 22, 2011, 10:37:05 am »
This was my first crack at a rawhide sheath.  I dyed it with some coffee, walnut hulls, and a quick dip in vigaroon.  It's a cross-draw design made to be worn on the left hip.

The knife is forged out of 1084 steel.  All the shaping was done with a hammer and file, and touched up with hand sanding.  I'm not sure what the scales are, it was in a box of other wood I got from a bow builder.

Nice work
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!
