New knife with Sambar Stag Horn handle

[jojo]

I have been working, on & off, on a new knife in the past few weeks. It's got a 4mm blade I doodled at work during a particularly tedious afternoon. I am very pleased the way it came out. It has black liners, Sambar Stag Horn scales and filework on the spine. I hardened it in the Rayburn and tempered it in the cooker's oven!

looks an excellent knife joel like the filework.

That looks rather purposeful and really rather nice. Love the filework.

Now I like that

The filework looks amazing, as does the rest of the knife.

I like that, I'm not normally one for antler handles but that looks really nice.
Have you a sheath for it yet?

Antlers are smelly old things to work with, that's for sure I am not sure I'll want to make many like that.

No, no sheath as yet. I am not sure what sort of sheath to make, to be honest, that will compliment the knife. Any suggestions?

If your asking me jojo; I'm sitting thinking it could be some sort of neck or over the shoulder type thing?
I really can see that, slung across the body around about the ribs level.
Also I would go for a light colour, with either scandinavian or first nations decoration.

Oh bxgger, you've got me going now!

Take no notice- you go with what feel's right.

More I look at it, the tastier it gets!

best wishes

Now, that's an interesting idea. How do you mean exactly? like attaching a sheath on a possible pouch's strap? or a strap/sheath without a pouch? I was short on ideas for this, so that's good .

Oh and I forgot the vital statistics:

220 mm long blade, 100 mm cutting edge, 24 mm wide and 4 mm thick.
