Lenaghan Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 thanks for the comments guys! Blades all done except for the little touch ups... I have a bad habbit of not making scabbards for my blades so I'm gonna actually try to follow through on this one Hope you guys like, I'm pretty happy with it all and all but wish it was the 30 inch blade it was meant to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenaghan Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 well got it all finished up, sheath is made outta 2 layers of leather bound and glued together. Inner layer had the hair still on which help protect the blade and makes a tight fit but still easy to draw. Rabbit fur on the out side just to give it that character... Learnt alot from this one but now it's time to get back to the forge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
