    Default Another one done..

    And another sheath done for one from the last batch.

    This knife is super light. I've been trying a new decorating technique where I bend copper wire and press it into the leather. I like it, looks simple but sets off the sheath IMO.

    This little guy is kinda tactical I reckon. It has some old paper micarta from Navy electronic boards in subs, IIRC. Bead blasted the whole thing.

    very nice work. There's something about copper rivets that looks great on leather.

    How did I miss this? Brother, those are outstanding!!!! I love the thing you did with the pressed wire. I'm with Randy, I like the copper rivets on leather but that pressed wire really added to it IMO.

    Nice leather work and I like the handle, walnut and bone?, on the one knife. Keep up the good work.

    It's rosewood and an antler crotch.

    Thanks for all the positive comments. My head is swelling up.
