Purty sheath for my next dirk

**Nighthawk** · 18th May 11, 03:38 PM

The dirk isn't done yet, but I just finished the sheath. It's purty... I'm happy with it.

The dirk is eventually going to be a primitive bullock style.

You have a definite right to be happy -- very very nice!

Rob.

Very nice! I like the color and patterns.

Very nice work! I love those birds... cranes, are they?

Yes, I think they are. It's one of many designs I lifted from photographs of the Book Of Kells. I love the artwork in that! The dogs on my targe are the same.

This is the "before" picture- it may make the birds a little easier to see

The color is 2 parts emerald green, one part thinner, airbrushed on, and then coated with an antique gel.

Wow that's gorgeous, I would definitely like to see a finished product with a dirk inside.

Thanks for the additional picture, brother. That's very good, clean work, that is.
