hi...ok...massively overdue, apologies....as you know i lost my computers etc etc so i've about 100gigs of images and files spread out everywhere on new computers....trying to bring order....

as usual it was all instigated by the Chief Conspirator Lisa...and I discovered later...Mr Albus....naughty....hillbill and i were on a pretty tight deadline to make this happen in time for sams birthday and we made it with just a few days to go...

was a totally new design specially for birthday boy....and it was a nightmare....but hes pleased and therefore so am i.

and i'm not just bigging up hillbill cos hes my mate...but his M.O.R.A. is really rather nice and as for his hilting effort...well...yes...i drooled a bit and nearly kept it for myself lol! this guy is already a very good knifemaker and in ten years time...look out!

so....heres a somewhat patchy W.I.P. ....hope you like and enjoy!

regards,

FIRST OF ALL...DRAW THE TEMPLATE



THEN CUT THE BLANKS (i cut several just in case)



START DYEING



THEN TO FIGURE OUT THE STEEL HOLDER (i ended up also developing firesteel holders to wear around your neck)



(yes yes....Sir Budd makes lovely sporks)



START ASSEMBLING







STRETCHING IT OUT A LITTLE



THEN FOR SOME ANTLER DECORATION



THE FIRST DRAFT



ALL THAT HARD WORK TO GO ON THIS HORRIBLE THING!!:lmao:



i hope that gives a rough idea...certain images are determined to elude me it sems....

regards and may it bring you much enjoyment sam!

Its a handsome sheath for a handsome knife.
the idea is that it can be worn either around the neck on a cord or on a belt the traditional manner.
When its cold and I dont want the belt around my waist compressing the insulation and causing a cold spot I can wear the knife around my neck.
It also allows me to tuck the entire sheath inside a jumper/wool shirt or snow smock so it isn't flapping around should I wish to use an axe.
when it warms up and I'm not wearing as many layers I can wear it on my belt next to my possibles pouch.

its a stunning piece of work and the coordination between albus hill bill sonni and my beloved lady of tanith was phenomenal.
Definitely a birthday gift I treasure.

The knife and sheath are getting their first proper test next weekend I'm certain they'll pass with flying colours


ps thanks for the knighthood.

Pps I want one of mr budds sporks.
