Had this idea bouncing around in my head for a while!
Took about three months to build those 6 :D
Sure got better with my carving knive and rasp.
These are for my 5 best friends from School!
I'll hand them over tonight...hope parting with them won't be too hard :rolleyes:

Very nice! Which Helle blade did you use?
Those are awesome, excellent job. And did you say you used all hand tools to shape the handles?
Very nice shealth, did you design and make those also?
Love em! Those sheaths are way cool also.
Great job, and nice photo too! Really like the looks of those and the sheaths.
Fantastic! Some of the nicest helle blades I've seen made into knives!

Those are beautiful :thumbsup: , I love the sheaths :notworthy:

Love the sheaths. Good Idea.
Nathan
Like all the above, awesome knifes, love the sheaths now tell us more about the sheaths? lol
How did you seal the hole drilled for the tang? Very nice work!! Distinctive, innovative sheaths. Larry
Very nice job! Love everything about them!!!!
Thanks Guys! :archer:
The Blade is called Odel, I guess it's the smallest one with a blade length around 2".
Wouldn't have the sheaths expected to raise so much attention.
I came up with them cause I wanted to save on leather and to have a sheath that allows one hand removal.
They are fairly easy to make, but those wooden knobs can be a bit dangerous for your thumb when using a Dremel :rolleyes:
Hope those pictures help

I sealed the holes with a Wooddust-epoxy mix.
Well done mate, I plan to order a Helle for my boy. Not sure what one though!
