A vegan friendly knife - stacked birch bark and hessian sheath.

[Stew]

an fun journey this one.

Stacked birch bark and laburnum handle with brass at the front and rear.
Sheath is made from hessian sacking, hardened with fiberglass resin, with a wooden liner inside for the blade.
Twine wrapping at the top made from strands of hessian twisted into thicker cord then wrapped and soaked in resin with a hole formed at the back.
Belt hook is made from a flattened and bent nail and the cord attaching the two is made from more hessian fibres twisted into thicker cord.

That's brilliant! Lovely looking knife and it's great to see a original idea like that!

Gorgeous knife handle. Superb!

A real nice pairing that, really work well together. As said the knife with that handle is cracking but the sheath really tickles my fancy. A really nicely executed piece of design.

 

[Robbi]

That's cracking that is !

Delightful! Now that's an original design, and that's the nicest handle I've seen for a long time....................Lovely, Stew!

Thanks guys. I feel humbled.

I'm very keen to do more stacked birch bark after this one.

Now that, that's clever. Really thinking outside the box. Well done!

The sheath is clever, but honestly not my sort of thing...
But the handle on that knife is something else!
