Here is a link to see the Sheath WIP build.

Bowie Sheath

In another WIP I did my best to make my very first Bowie knife. Or my interpretation of a Bowie knife. The knife is almost complete, so it is time to make a sheath. For all that struggle with leather sheaths, I will do my best to chronicle this sheath build in a WIP/build along. If anyone...

It has been some time since I posted a finished knife. Here is a new one. I call it a "small hunter". I have made several with this pattern and I sell quite a few of them. This one is made from 1075 high carbon steel. It has brass bolsters and pins. Amber dyed jigged bone for scales. Red G10 liners. Theme was "orange". Orange thread on the sheath, orange colored sheath, orange colored handle.

Pictures are way better than words.

Here is another small hunter. 1075 high carbon, brass bolsters and pins, yellow g10 liners. Theme was "yellow".

A special thank you to DanF. At least, I hope it was DanF. I think it was him that gifted to me the scales. If I remember correctly, cherry burl. I think it came from his yard. I am horrible at remembering stuff. If I am mistaken, someone please correct me.

Again, pictures are better than words.

I forgot to mention, I tried something new on the sheaths. Mystery braid belt loops. Kind of different.

Those are really nice Dennis!

Here is the latest creation from my shop. I don’t name all my patterns but this one is named “Duck”. 6.5 inches overall. Made from 1075. Black G10 bolsters with stabilized spalted maple handles. Brass pins. Medium brown sheath with dark brown braiding and fully lined.

I forgot to mention. Mid September I will have the pleasure of giving this to a US Veteran at my local DU banquet. Going to be a great day.

Great knife. I really like the lace work on the sheath, I do not see that often.

I have been attempting to get better (and faster) at the lacing part of sheath making. It is not all that hard to learn. Just time consuming.

 

[Chris Railey]

It shows in your work.

 

[Sean Jones]

Very nice Dennis!

Been a while since I posted a new knife. First knife for 2019.

My first try at a Bowie. Or my take on a Bowie. Made from 1075. 9 inch blade.

Elk shed, blue G10, 410 stainless steel guard, pins and spacers. Copper inserts in guard. Copper beads and blue suede lacing to match the knife.

This knife took me a long time to complete.

Dennis, Your bowie looks good. The bottom of your guard is to long. It should be the same distance below the blade as it is above the spine. That's one straight crown you used.

A new knife that is going out in the mail. This one is 1075, African Blackwood, and Curly Mango.

 

[Dennis Morland]

This one is 1075, walnut, and paper micarta.

I have three (3) knives to post up. First one is a fillet knife made from 440c. A tad longer than 6 inch blade. Elk, walnut, g10 handle. 416 ss guard.

 

[Dennis Morland]

Next up is a small hunter. Made from 1075. 4.5 inch blade. Elk, walnut and g10 handle. 416 as guard and pin.

 

[Dennis Morland]

Last one is a large hunter. Made from 1075. 6 inch blade. Elk, walnut and g10 handle. 416 as guard and pin.

Now for the story. These were made for a father and two sons. All the same, but different. The elk handles are all from the same elk shed from Nevada. Great color and texture. All share a walnut spacer from the same piece of wood. The sheaths are from the same piece of leather. Same with the braiding. Also they share the same mosaic pin in the butt cap.

Where did you get that triangle shape stock for the mosaic pins?
