Thanks Steve. Those handles are 2.75." These knives were a special order, with the size determined by the customer. A bit short for me, but they do ride nicely in the back pocket.steve99f wrote:Great looking blade grind Tony. How long are the handles on the two wood scaled knives?
Thanks Mike. Those sheaths are the result of trial and error. I have probably made 100+ fixed blade sheaths of all shapes and sorts.XX Case XX wrote:Very nice sheaths Tony. The ones at the top have a kind of "Norse-ish" look to them and the bottom one looks kind of "Keltic" in a way. Where did the idea for the designs come from? I'd be willing to bet you have a formal education.

Well you sure fooled the heck outta me. I could see those designs coming from a background in ancient cultures with months, if not years of study. Well done Sir. I said this before Tony, I might have to commission you to make a sheath for me one of these days, and I ain't hardly joking.Tony_Wood wrote:No formal art education.

Anytime Mike. It might take a bit to get to it, but we should be able to barter for blades easy enough.XX Case XX wrote:Well you sure fooled the heck outta me.

You sell these?
Yes, I sell most knives; some I give away, and some I can’t seem to part with. I will have a couple of those back pockets available in June.
Here is a combo I never should have let go of. My daughter was having surgery, it was uninsurable, and we needed the funds.
Leather wrapped in rawhide with tanned buckskin fringes.

Much different and great skill, awesome job Tony!Tony_Wood wrote:A puuko sheath has a much different process than a normal sheath: carving, stretching, stitching, and dyeing.

That is extra amazing...that you are doing all of stiching by hand. Looks so perfect!!!!!Tony_Wood wrote:Thanks Wally. Beautiful sheath you have there.
Dale, these are the first puuko sheaths I have made. The leather I used was not exactly correct. It did not draw up tightly as planned. Thanks.
Doc, thanks very much. I do not have a machine. All of the stitching is done by hand. Sometimes I use a drill press, followed by an awl, for the holes. Sometimes just an awl, depending upon the thickness/stiffness of the leather.
