Really beautiful. You made the sheath as well? I have a good friend who just got into leather work and I'm hoping he'll figure out knife sheaths before my first knife!
Wow, I'm still figuring out the first steps and what blade to use... this thread set the bar high for my first try! Will try to post when it's done... not for a while
Wow, I'm also a super newbie, and really glad to have found this site and post. It's intimidating hobby to get into, but posts like these make me feel ok about trying! Thank and well done!
