A vegan friendly knife - stacked birch bark and hessian sheath.

[Stew]

an fun journey this one.

Stacked birch bark and laburnum handle with brass at the front and rear.
Sheath is made from hessian sacking, hardened with fiberglass resin, with a wooden liner inside for the blade.
Twine wrapping at the top made from strands of hessian twisted into thicker cord then wrapped and soaked in resin with a hole formed at the back.
Belt hook is made from a flattened and bent nail and the cord attaching the two is made from more hessian fibres twisted into thicker cord.

I agree, very cool. That's the nicest birch bark handle I've seen.
