Hi guys,
I'v finally managed to finish my knife and sheath from the kit SWMBO got me for christmas. I really enjoyed the process and i'v begun to source materails to make another. The knife is just a standard 9cm stick tang with brass bolster, piece of antler and curly birch finished with linseed oil. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and can't wait to get started on another one and a firesteel to go with this one.
And with the sheath
It came with some soft leather to make a belt loop but i wanted it long enough to wear around my neck so i just put some leather thonging doubled up and it works a treat plus i really like how it looks.
cheers for looking
Phil
