Sheet stock, laid the blade on the sheet, drew a line around it. Added some room for the clearance and cut it out. Used the first for a pattern and made a second plate. Then I formed the edges over to make the shape. A weld around the seam and a quick grind to clean up the edges and there you have it. The bands were made up and hot drifted over the sheath.

A lady friend asked for a pirate dagger. I did a couple of basic sketches and she picked this style.

Missed my chance to watch and learned this at FitS. Hope I can get to spend some time with you guys again sometime when I don't have as many distractions. Looking forward to it.
