I've had a knife that belongs to a buddy for quite awhile that I needed a special elk ivory for the sheath. It had to match one on some gun leather from a few years back. Got the ivory this winter from a lion kill and finally got the sheath done. The knife is a big one made by Bagwell.



The second sheath is a horseman's cross draw for a folder I just finished. Pretty plain but a nice way to carry a larger lockback. Amy Raymond Silver did the engraving

DANG - those are simply AWESOME!

Most-excellent work right there!

Truly complements / completes the knife itself.

Thanks for sharing!

Shoot straight, Shinken

 

Oh my-Those are fantastic!

Thanks guys.
The big sheath has double rolled edges on top, done with veg tanned kangaroo. The lace on the little guard strap is also kangaroo with a little ring knot slide of horse rawhide. It was a fun one to make.

Very nice craftsmanship there.

Oh, man-I really like your version of "plain"... I always enjoy seeing your work.

Really nicely done leather. That scroll on the folder pouch is great.
Darcy  

Thanks for looking and the nice comments.

Darcy, here's a picture of the back of the Bagwell sheath. Some more scroll cutting and shows the size of this blade in my hand.
Scott started scrolling the backs of his sheaths and I thought it was a great idea on some of the fancy sheaths.

Very nice. I like that fine line scroll. I think it would also look great engraved on steel the same basic style.
I assume you are using 2 layers of leather, flesh sides together, and folding the inside one over the top for that rolled top Bagwell sheath?

Gorgeous work Robin. I like the subtle touches that make such a difference. I can almost smell the leather.

Man o man, I never get tired of looking at your leather work Robin, incredible stuff!! Who's folder?

Robin,
Those are flat out beauties!

Sorry I'm slow answering, power was out most of the morning. Thanks a bunch guys.

Darcy, your correct on the rolled top. It's about 3 or four ounce kangaroo that goes down to the tip. Counting the welt there are five pieces in the main sheath. The belt loop is also lined and adds a couple more.

Doug, I don't know if it's still mine or not. It went to a engraving show with a price on it. Have not  heard if it came home yet.

Thanks Jeff & Lin, means a lot to me.

Those are amazing.

Thanks for posting!

I may be a little late to post ,but those are real nice!
Can't believe you can turn out such work with just a little practice.LOL          

Thanks Todd & Kevin

I'm trying to get another sheath out right now.
One for Doug's St Jude knife. Real slender profile cool looking knife. Trying some different stuff to make the sheath the same profile. Hope it works.
