This was one for the Blade show, but things come up so I can't go hopefuly next year.
This is my model#29 . It has a 4" high buffed ATS34 blade, dove tailed SS bolsters, G10 and SS spacers, with ironwood handle and a hand tooled sheath.

Thanks for looking, all comments welcome.
 
Thats a beautiful knife and sheath combo Artin. I like everything about them. That one won't stay on your table very long. BTW what dye did you use on the sheath? I really like that look.

Good stuff Art. Your designs look very functional. Fit and finish look superb on all your knives.

Clean, clean, clean.
 
Doug,
It is saddle tan, I wet the sheath so the dye will be light color and after it dries I put a light coat of sealer on the high spots on the basket weave and light brown around the edge of the tooling and then antique it and then wipe the antique off the high spots on the basket weave that had the sealer dabed on it. That is what gives the depth to the tool work.

PS: thanks for all the comments.
 
Thanks for the onfo ArtinNC. That techinque really makes that sheath POP! I will be trying it out on my next sheath.
