Something fishy.....

[Raymond Richard]

Here's another idea I was able to try on a sheath. Started out thinking about doing a barracuda but it involved into some other species. Maybe a sardine. The fishy knife has a 52100 blade, sambar stag handle, with one tiny piece of wrought iron for the butt cap. From where the blade comes out of the handle its 5 1/2" and overall its just under 10". The little skinner has a 3 1/2" 1084 blade, deer antler handle, and wrought iron fittings. It is just under 8" overall.

Craftmanship on display! Both blades and sheaths are handsome...can I use "handsome" to describe a knife? Thanks for sharing.

Yes, Handsome can be used since both these knives are males. They prefer that instead of "pretty".

That fishy knife is calling to me....... the sheath reminds me of scandinavian fish knives, where the sheath is shaped as the body of a fish, and the knife handle butt was the head..

I am in love with the shape/form of that skinner!

The first photo almost looks like those sheaths are made of chocolate!

I think Troy nailed it..."Mighty Handsome Pair"

Yep, either of those would look mighty fine on a fella's hip.

Great looking knives. I like seeing that as much thought went into the sheaths as the blades. I could draw some inspiration from that pair.

Awesome! I'm really loving those sheaths big buddy!

I always enjoy seeing your work & I really like the sheaths. The depth & subject matter of the carvings really make those sheaths pop! Could you show a wip of your sheath carving techniques?

Doug, One and I are going to do a collaboration in the very new future. He's going to send the next knife he's working on to me and I'll do sorta of a wip on the sheaths.
