Latest, hunter in Leopard Wood

[Kurt Krueger]

I finally got around to making a light box so I could take better pictures of my work. Here's a shot of my latest, a hunter in AEB-L, leopard wood with brown and black micarta spacers. This was part of a trade deal with my cousin's husband for a rifle I built for my niece to deer hunt with. There are 3 sheaths, left, right and ambidextrous, shown are the ambi and left.

Very nice, leather work looks great too, what is the reason for 3 sheaths, just curious, thanks.

Thanks. I'm rather new to the knife hobby, this is my 10th, and even more so the leather work. These 3 sheaths are my 5th, 6th and 7th.

My cousin's husband is an executive at a rifle company and wants to allow his business partner and himself to both field test the knife, he's right handed, his partner's a lefty. So, I did a right and left version. As an afterthought, I decided to do an ambidextrous one with a more horizontal hanging position.
