Rawhide Knife Sheath

This is my first attempt at a rawhide knife sheath. I think it turned out well. There is an 8-9oz veg-tan liner and belt loop with a deer rawhide cover and cuff. It's hand stitched with artificial sinew and decorated with deerskin fringe, natural brown horse hair, aged tin & copper cones, solid copper tacks and antique Venetian trade beads. The knife is a Green River Hunter with bone handle that has been artificially aged and fileworked. I'm going to be listing this for sale, knife and sheath, for $300.

You are a true artist. When I first saw it I thought it was made
By Chuck Barrows.

Now that is high praise, thank you very much! When I found out that Chuck had recommended my work, about a year before his untimely death, I knew it was all downhill from there.

Hang onto your hair, guys!

Very nice work!

Turned out well? I think it turned out great! That is one classic looking combo. Pretty sure you will get your asking price on that in a hurry. If that is your first attempt, i can't wait to see your second, Great work!

Looking Good!

I would say it came out great!

This is the Green River Hunter I put together earlier this month - but if I had seen your wonderful sheath first, I would have tried something similar, ILO the plain leather.
