I hammered this up out of some uhhh....1084 maybe and for the life of me I have no idea what to do for a handle....yeah yeah I know, it is a cord or leather wrap, but WHAT!
I am going with a rawhide and wood sheath with some bead work so I need something appropo....

The antler thing would be great except the blade is 6 1/2 " long...(pic is at an angle)...that would be a really big folder there...and a really big antler tip or horn....I am a knife maker for a living. I am where guys like you go to buy their 'already made' knives....lol

I'd do something like elk antler scales with brass tacks and sinew wrapping.

I had a thought about adding copper in there somewhere. Dan does stuff like that too as well as several others and every once in a while I feel the need to do something different than normal customer stuff. I have done patch and belt knives in the old way for SASS and black powder once in a while and I like that.
No, I am referring to the actual indigenous sheaths that would have adorned a belt 400 years ago maybe... |
