New Sheath for 01 Paul Baker Bushman TZ

[Dave]

I've had this knife forever.
3mm spine, drop point, triple zone hardened 01 tool steel. Walnut Burl, with brass loveless bolts. Very sturdy.
Anyway, decided to make a new sheath for it and refurbish it.
I just need to polish the blade up on the stones.
I dyed it bucksin, and did a basketweave pattern, with shell camoflage tool, and dyed mahogany trim. The stitching is artificial waxed sinew.
The dangler is connected [like some Bison Bushcraft knives] with a 4mm round leather thong. Which is surprisingly strong.

I think its turned out nice. Welt, is about 14mm thick. Nice and sturdy.

That's different, I like it. Nice work.

 

[Dave]

Thanks mate. First time Ive used the stamps.

 

[Robbi]

That looks really good, well done indeed.

 

[Dave]

Thankyou Robbi. I am happy with how its turned out. The artificial waxed sinew is fiddly to tie though.
I used emu oil, glycerine, pure beeswax, and saddle soap, nuked in the microwave to burnish the edge!
It looks better than it does in the photos.
