I recently recieved a parcel with all kinds of cool sheath making stuff among other things from a fellow knifedog. I decided to go ahead and get a bit of steel to get back into things. I took a bit of a knock when I discovered a crack in my last knife but salvaged most of the stuff. I got myself some AISI O1 3*40*500 ground flat stock from cromwells (great place to get steelin the UK). I am going to be making two knives this time so this WIP doesn't get killed. One is a skinner or hunter type blade I guess which will have black liners and a red stag handle and 4mm brass pins, the other will be a drop point utility knife with an elm burl, Tasmanian oak or huon pine handle because. Can get it free. I might use blue or black liners depending on the handle material I choose, I might have to buy a different color who knows. The both sheaths will be sandwich style with cobra skin inlays. Hopefully the pictures work so let me know if they don't.

Ignore the tanto in the picture, that is for another time. The skinner ended up having a slightly longer handle because apparently I have girl hands and I need to make bigger handles. In the parcel I received there was a sheath that had been started for me so I can't take credit for the skiner's sheath. If the pictures don't work I shall have to get boss to help because I do knives (barely) not computers. It may be slow going because of school and stuff as well.
