I am planning my next knife project which will be a Muzzleloader Patch/neck knife for a long time friend & mentor to celebrate his 79th B-day. So it's got to be special! 

I plan to use stained figured Maple and try some simple wire inlay.  And make a primitive sheath using cones, horse hair, fringe and all that "stuff".        

Show me what you got!!! 

I need some inspiration !!!!

Thanks Steve

here's one of mine. I love this knife.<><

Here are a few that I own

Just a simple small neck knife with sheep horn...tippit

 

Here's my latest patch/neck knife. The handle is polished bone, the sheath is rawhide and brain tan.

 

Hey Ron, is that a poured pewter guard? She's a beauty!

It has a steel bolster

Tippit there's nothing simple about that set love the quill work

Wow, all great examples !   Fact is I just plain love knives!!

More Please!!!

here's my favorite.
 

Just finished a small flared guard necker in Lacewood.  It fits nicely in Rebecca Parker's brain tanned quill neck sheath...tippit

 

 

That is very nice!

Wow, that is a really very nice knife!  I love the color combo in the quill work!  Is that sheath lined with a heaver leather or only the brain tanned leather?
