Here's a little one I just finished.  It's 5.5" overall with a 2.25" blade and has zebra wood/horn scales with brass, copper, and homemade mosaic pins.  The blade is 3/32" thick with a convex primary and flat secondary grind.  The steel is from an old Oldham Saw Company non-carbide tipped 10" saw blade that I posted a question about on another thread:

Any help clarifying my questions posted near the end of that thread would be most appreciated  :)

Anyway, this knife has a forced patina achieved with lemon juice, tomatoes, onions, green apples, oranges, vinegar, and mustard.  I had a little fun playing in my wife's kitchen.  I also tried a new blade-up neck sheath design.  Thanks for looking, and all critique is welcomed.

Slick little knife. How does the sheath hold the knife?

That is pretty!  I really like the trade knife type look of the blade.  To much going on in the pins category for my taste, but very nice none the less!

Elk Ninja:  I had to laugh when I read your post.  My wife said the very same thing!   :)  I really just wanted the scales good and secure, but when a wife speaks...   :nono:  

Bretto: Here's  a little video that shows how the sheath works.  Although the one in the video looks different than this one, it works the exact same way. (The knife rides handle down.)

4est, would you share the pattern for the sheath or would you be willing to make one for a knife?

Fedora:  This style of sheath is very quick and simple to construct, as it involves no sewing.  I will post a few pics and the pattern I used as soon as I have a chance.
