These knives will be going in the mail soon. They were made for a forum member. The handle material on the top knife is fiddleback Myrtle and tiger Myrtle for the bottom knife. The beautiful wood was provided by Cecil Fredi.

jfromswkI think I like the profile of the bottom one better.
Great looking knives!

Lee Baumgartjfromswk,
Both knives are from the same pattern. There might be some slight differences because I grind everything free hand, without the use of jigs of any kind. I am not the best photographer, so I think the difference in profiles you are seeing is because they are sitting on the sheaths at different angles.
Regardless, I appreciate your comment.
Thanks,
Lee

lindy2do you make a hunter, skinner, caper set that goes in the same sheath. It would be fun to see a photo of it.

Lee Baumgartlindy2,
I make the three types of knives you listed, but have never made a combined sheath for all three. That's a little beyond my leather working abilities.
ZekeShikar,
Thank you.

Texas KillartistLee, your talent is easy to see in your knives.
Leather work is easy for a man w/ your talent/skill.
I taught myself. You can too.
One thing I will have you do when you make my knives/sheaths is make the sheath a crossdraw.
Just a thought.
