My Second

I completed my second knife a couple of days ago (sans sharpening). The intention is for it to be a little utility knife for my father in law. Knowing that he isn't going to actually carry the knife around on his belt, I decided to rather make a leather storage box for it than an actual sheath with a belt loop - let me know what you think of the idea.

Knife specs:
Steel: O1
OAL: 7 in
Blade length: 3 1/2 in
Scales: Brazilian Walnut
Pins: Mosaics I made myself (left over from my first knife. I know they suck - have to work on that some more)
Heat treating: Done by Peter's
Storage box: 9 oz veg tanned leather stained antique brown

You might also notice that I put my maker's mark on the spine. I had the stencil made by Ernie (great guy to deal with, BTW), and used a simple 9V battery/crocodile clips/cotton wool pads/small steel plate etcher to etch the logo. Worked out really well, I think!

Any comments/suggestions/thoughts (good or bad) are always appreciated!

Thanks for looking!
 
The box is a great idea for storing a great looking knife.
A good example of thinking inside the box.;-))
