Title: I'm no John Cohea
Post by: jonathan creason 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.
