Title: new knife and sheath
Post by: DirtyDan on September 23, 2009, 04:44:47 pm

Here is a new knife I knapped and made a sheath for.  The blade was knapped from a Carrera glass slab and the handle is whitetail antler with elk back sinew hafting.  The sheath is some sort of African antelope skin with buckskin backing and goat rawhide interior.
The knife blade is about 10" long.  Hope you like it.
