May 28, 201115 yr Hi guys just finished the second rasp up and wanted to try some rawhide for the sheath. Well this is how it turned out. Tell me what you think. Regards Keith.
May 29, 201115 yr A very cool looking piece of rawhide! What is that little eyespot on it? I am not sure that I like the rivets where they could dull the blade though. Could you use a thick leather (or rawhide) welt to protect the stitches instead? Neat looking knife and even neater looking sheath!

I wrapped a leather sheath with the rawhide. Under the eyespots I inlaid python belly. I agree, I should have set the rivets closer to the edge. It has a leather welt but had to double up some thin leather to thicken it up. I need to get more thick leather. Thanks again, Keith.
