Darcy,

A very, very cool project!

You must be very proud and artistically fulfilled.  This project is outstanding!

The sheath is very nice..... however, A burled scabbard would have completely finished it!  (that is ambitious, at least for my skill set)

Respect

Steve,
I agree with you completely, but I wasn't sure I could pull that off and still have it functional. This is not a show piece, as the guy who owns it is packing and using it, and I am comfortable with leather sheaths for use. Sometime I'll learn how to make nice wooden scabbards, but I wasn't ready yet.
Thanks for the kind words guys.

Beautiful work on the entire piece! and thanks very much for the build along it was very interesting to follow.  maybe the next time you do a thread like this could you include a few more picks of your metal carving and tools you use?  It's something I know very little about and would love to learn more.
Again thanks very much and great work!

I like everything about it! Such a wonderfully executed piece. All of the detail and finish compliment each other and not a single detail looks out of place. Excellent!
