Nice work! A fine reproduction of one of favorite early dirks.
A suggestion: take some sheet brass and form a tip for the sheath. I've personally seen two instances of of blade points poking through the ends of leather-only sheaths and wounding their owners in the leg! Both occasions were at reenactments. One was a Scottish dirk, the other a Civil War bayonet....
