Next group of blades

This is a real gem, Jim. The rosettes are a super touch too.

Thanks.

They are mosaic pins. Here is a close up -



They add something nice when your working with plain woods but not so much at a distance that they move the center of interest.

Again flawless work Jim I love the walrus ivory, has much more of an aged look to it. I have used the etch for years and did not like the fact that it was hit and miss and have been using a single letter stamp.
Where did you order your stamp from?

Going with a classic look for a request. This is using Artificer's design with ebony and steel pins -





And of course a touch of filework -

Here to show off the leather work of my sheath maker Sandy. Here is the the dirk. Asked him to make 2 sheaths, one for the hose and one for the boot.

Here he does a faux stingray -



And, as the leather makers here will tell you, the back and sides are just as important as the front for quality -





Here is the boot with the faux string ray -





Here is the ivory one done in his faux elephant skin -



And just a straight plain black sheath to show, like the blade, something doesn't have to embellish to look nice -
