Hi
I made this knife and sheath for a lady that I work with. She bakes a Red Velvet snowman cake in a form, ices it with white icing, names it something like "Marie Antoinette" or "William Wallace" and then beheads it before we eat it. I've been working on this setup for 3 years. I originally intended to bead the snowman, but well that was beyond my patience level. The knife is a Track of the Wolf Cumberland Bowie with Ivory Micarta grips and a brass bolster.

I tried several times to carve a decent pine branch over the snowman's head, but they all looked weird. I'll work more on it next year. I have a similar kitchen knife that I'm working on for a friend from work with the same style sheath but a more traditional rose pattern. I managed to do the alternating sinew colors by tying the two pieces together and pulling the knot towards the middle layer of the sheath.

That's certainly a novel idea. Looks like you definitely had fun with this one. Cool sheath.

Thanks, I had fun with it. The Sheath keeps the knife locked in pretty well. The leather for the two belt loops was thinner than I should have used and is bent at too much an angle. I did MUCH better with the holes for the sinew, but not even close to professional. I figured that beading would be much easier and I had to LEARN carving for this sucker. I plan to work on floral stuff for a year or so and see if I can make myself a few holsters.
Thanks

Looks good, WF. I like that design on the holsters. It works nicely to fill a large space without getting too busy.

Marshal - good question. I was lent some cuffs made circa 1920 by Wyeth and I tried to duplicate his technique. I didn't get it quite right but I did my best.

Thanks. It looks like something that would work well done wet then allowed to dry. |
