new knife and sheath from turtle tail

[cutfinger]

I put this knife together with a blade my dad brought back from the Philippines in 1948,made from a U.S. jeep spring, I brought back the wood  from the Philippines in 2005 on a visit with my mom, it is called camagoonge (spelling probably wrong) a heavy ebony type wood.The sheath is made with 3 layers of wood and covered with a snapping turtle tail (skin), was a huge one, maby 50 lbs.The blade is 10 1/2" and the sheath is 11" long.Tough rawhide!!!

That's awesome!  The turtle skin looks awesome. I've only seen one other person use it on a sheath before.

I like that sheath. If it was laying in amongst some leaves, I would bet you would be backing up and wondering what it was. Both, your knife and sheath are impressive. Thanks for sharing.

Cool knife and sheath. I'd make a set of sticks, too if I had some of that wood.
