new knife and sheath
« 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.

NICE I like it.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!
