Sheath is back center seamed from 6/7 oz vege-tan carving leather sewn with linen thread. Leather was given the cuir bouili hardening treatment, and black stained with vinegaroon. Sheath throat is butt joined in the rear by silver brazing. Frog button was cut from 3/16" brass plate and silver brazed to a brass pedestal which is inserted into the button about 5/32" deep, and the pedestal brazed to the throat. The throat cap is joined to the throat with a 650° cadmium solder, then drilled and filed open to allow the blade entry. Hope you enjoy a look.
