Headin' to Belgium

[Robert Dark]

Here is one that I just finished up for a customer in Belgium.

CPM 154 - Heat Treat by BOS to 60Rc
Dyed/Stabilized Box Elder Burl from WSSI
Stainless Pins
OAL - 7 1/8"
Blade Tip to Handle - 3 1/4"
My attempt at a pocket carry sheath

Edited to add: I added a couple of shots of the sheath a few posts down.

Dozier,

Actually, the customer (and good friend) is coming from Belgium to visit me for a couple of weeks. He placed the order for this one when he was here in '09.

Nice job!!!!!!!!!!

Thats a fine one Robert. Really impressed most with the sheath. It looks to be top notch and not your everyday carry. Your Belgium friend is going to be thrilled.

I agree with what everyone else has said, but that wood is magnificent looking. At first glance I thought it was a composite of some sort and went back to the specs to see what it was.

Great work.

Who took the picture? It ain't bad either. Dozier

Who took the picture???? Well, that would be me.

I posted this blade on another forum, and was asked for more pics of the sheath. Not the best pic, but here is another shot of the sheath.

Edited to add: The sheath was designed to be a "right front" pocket carry. However, you can turn the sheath around and wear it on your belt with the clip. The knife will also fit into the sheath when it is turned around. The back side stitching doesn't look as neat as the front side, but that is the nature of the beast when using a Tippman Boss Stitcher.
