I finally got the sheath finished up on this one and headed out to Kevin last month (and finally got on the computer to upload pics)!

 

 

Silver wire inlay on tiger maple.  The sheath is dyed and beaded braintanned mule deer.

Fantastic all the way around.  I particularly like the profile of that knife.  Very smooth, and the pigtails add a nice touch!  :)

This is one of the St Jude knives.  Osage and TX ebony with silver wire and silver and copper pins as accents.  The blade still needs it's final polish and the matching caper needs some more inlay done.

I'm finally getting this batch of knives finished up!  You know, the batch I started two years ago before my daughter was born! LOL!  She's turning 2 in a few weeks (my son is 4-1/2 now) and though my shop has been largely empty and unused these last years, I've had a blast with the kids!  :D   I really have to thank a few of you guys for your patience with me!
