Show us the sheath you have made (or are making)

[Jay Templin]

Just finished a late 16th/ early 17th century sheath for my newly built knife. The knife is based on a piece ca. 1500-1650 in a private collection. Blade is an old Green River I’ve had sitting around waiting for the right project. Scales are salvaged curly maple treated with aqua fortis, tube rivets are all cut from spent unmentionable cartridges. Sheath is salvaged tulip poplar treated with aqua fortis just for giggles. Poured the pewter mountings based largely on advice I found here on the Forum. Knife and sheath are both finished with walnut oil. Looks nice hanging off my doublet!

A sheath for a skinner I made, maple and leather.

A sheath I made for a big pigsticker. Moose antler and wenge.

Another sheath I made for a skinner I made, Reground Russell skinner. Wooden insert, wrapped in stitched deer rawhide.

Very nice. Gonna have to try a wooden sheath. Leopard wood might look really good.
