steel knapped effect knife and braided handle/sheath

[troy]

Here's another one of those projects I'd been threating to do but never had - until now.

The braided sheath is something I've been messing around with for ages and got it nearly perfect with this knife, which in the end I had to make as well to suit the braiding.

The steel used was what was advised from others here -cromwells - created the grooves with a drum sander which has created a nice lookin scallop type edge which is'nt really sharp but OK for what could be more regarded as a decorative knife.

The sheath is made from two short belt braided patterns joined together by an edge braid - working on another at the moment where I hope to include a small pouch.

Cool, it's like the future of flintknapping... Nice work.

MY GOD. Amazing.

I went down to the workshop yesterday to do a stock removal bushcrafter, and got the hump trying to sand out a rust pit.

That must have taken hours, and looks just like it has been knapped.

Fair play to the man with the patience.

Am liking the look of this, very much.

Is it "knapped" on the other face?

Paul has put this up on EBAY in case any of you really fancy it.

just finished another and gone for the black look in the braiding - plus included a small pouch in the sheath of this one for that all important strike alight or a plain old lighter.

That is awsome.. Good work. Be careful though as here in the US double edged "daggers" are illegal to carry. Not sure of your laws.

Where did you get that info? Doesn't seem to be the case in Alabama
