Roselli Carpenter new DIY sheath and freehand sharpening edge

[NoName]

I visited Knife Heaven yesterday, who unfortunately are situated in the same village / town as me...
Always a bad idea haha
I ended up with a 103mm Carbon Karesuando blade (the last) blank/ blade and the last Roselli Carpenter, since I do some carving and it was an addition to my Mora's

I made a new sheath, since the original was a bit thin and I don't like plastic inserts (ruins razor edges)
3,5 mm veg tan leather sami style
wetfoarmed
My own beeswax/ Pinetar mix (all natural)

The edge was quite blunt and a bit scandivex with the common terrible micro bevel, so flattened it to true scandi with 240, 400, 800, 1200, 6000 and 8000 King stones
Now very very sharp
The handle I soaked a night in my linseed/Pine tar mix

I hope u like it.
suggestions, comments, critics and such welcome

Nice looking knife and sheath; the handle looks super-cool!

Very nice work Mors, that's a great handle it must give a lot of versatility and control to the blade.

Thank You so much for the kind comments.

The 200 euro kainuun puukkos were too much for me, but for 60 euro's I got a wonderfull knife, 3,5 mm spine and indeed a wonderfull handle and very good multi grips.
I like natural no nonsence ��

thanks Crosslandkelly.
It is very simple but I like it.
I got a weak spot for simple old school stuff
ps the combo is very light too

Looks amazing, could you tell us more how you produce tar for yourself? I'd be very interested in having a go one day, I do have my own bees waх. The paste I'm making for metal surfaces is bees wax, linseed oil and canned turpentine if I could swap this to home made stuff that would be great!

Hi Milius
for leatherconditioner I make this:
1 pure Beeswax (from a beekeeper)
30-40% Orange terpentine https://www.dictum.com/en/surfaces/...78/pure-orange-oil-1-l?elioOrdernumber=705278
20% Olive oil

one can add pine tar like 20-30 or 40 % depending how dark you want it
Unfortunately I do not have pine resin roots from boggy ereas (all protected here) and the space to make pine tar, but this is very good:

they also sell more expensive tars, but never used it

the handle is soaked in 50/50 Furutjaera and linseed oil
