A few months ago I had a fellow that is in the US Coast Guard contact me about building him a boat knife that he could use on the deck of a cutter boat on the Hudson River in New York. He gave me a materials request list, size, and price point,and requested that the sheath be black rawhide and right to left crossdraw, the rest he left up to me. This is what I came up with.
The knife is 7 1/4 "OAL of full tang stainless raindrop damascus forged by Chad Nichols. The scales are black linen micarta that has been textured in a waffle pattern. Michael Burch showed and assisted me in doing this(actually he did most of it
). The scales are lined with red fiber, and have nickle silver pins, stainless thong tube, and a mosaic pin. The lanyard is black paracord and a pewter skull bead. Just for the hell of it I put a little black deerskin fringe with another skull bead at the tip of the sheath. Thanks for looking2thumbs!
