Hi all, i finally got round to getting my knife set up the way i wanted,i have posted pictures up of it before but the sheaths were undyed. So now i have managed to get my finger out and dye the sheaths and put the whole lot together with the new carved firesteel.

Anyway i thought you might like a look.









i'm quite chuffed with the end result.

Really good work mate, i really like your fire steel fox.. very characterful!

 

[hobbitboy]

Thats sweet man. Whats the larger of the knives? The fox head firesteel is awesome, never seen one like that. Did you carve it?

 

[ozzy1977]

Nice work mate

Very nice work. Great idea piggybacking the small knife onto the larger one. Like the fox too.

Cheers for the comments folks, i'm going to start a leather possibles pouch to match the sheaths,so they should all tie in nicely together.

The knifes are a set that was a gift to my father while working in Sweden.

Wayland has a knife made by the same guy so he maybe able to shed some light on the maker. And yeah i did carved the firesteel handle myself.

I like your custom job a lot Stuart,
I always like to see standard products taken to a new level.
Can you tell me what wood you used for the fox head?

Surely, it was just a bit of old pine that was kicking about my shed floor,it was a spur of the moment thing when i made it. Next time i will think i will use Ash or some other type of wood.

Spur of the moment things can sometimes be the best things.
