Title: Knife for brother in law
Post by: dbb on December 10, 2011, 11:31:51 pm

I make knives from time to time,mostly for family and friends.
Here is one i just made for my brother in law.

Buffalo and moose with black and white spacers and nicklesilver in the front.
The blade i bought from a very good swedish smith,you can check out his work at http://www.gen-smide.sa/indexeng.html
It is just over 4" and total lenght is just under 9".

Nice work.  How did you get the top portion of the sheath to look like that? Is it carved?

TurtleCreek There is no carving just thinned down,folded over and the line is made with pressure when wet.
There is also a partial woodsheath of soft fir in the lower part just covering the blade.

@ Catahoula
The link was killed by admin because he sell stuff from the site,but you can search for gen-smide and you will find it.
