Ugly as sin but keeps the blade safe.

Not ugly! it has a rustic charm!! I'm discovering I actually really like wooden sheaths, especially on larger blades. Speaking of which, I very much like that leuku.

Thanks its a Polar blade I handled. I bought it over the Lauri blades as it has slightly more length.

I love the two woods in the handle, and I really like how it's aged too, the marks and scuffs really add character. I'll be handling the lauri version soon, I've only ever owned sub 4 inch blades so the 210 seemed plenty! Might have to copy your sheath design though

I do use it quite a bit. The handle is brass leather oak leather spalted birch then leather and brass for the pummel.

What wood is the sheath made from? I love the grain in it.

 

[SoldierPalmer]

Its just birch if you want a more detailed pattern like that you can get curly birch it looks a lot nicer. It only tends to grow in Scandinavia though.

My neck sheath.

Very nice looking knife (and sheath). Can I ask where you got the blade?

 

[Great egret]

Made it myself, the leather sheath that came with the knife got too loose.

I made the blade from o1 tool steel and the handle is fiddle back maple. Hope this helps you out mate.
