Title: My first of three for the swap
Post by: skullworks on February 25, 2008, 07:21:00 AM

Blade is a Bruseletto with a piece of mule deer antler, brass guard and a imbuya phoebe end cap. Sheath is 8 oz leather with an antique and cordovan finish.

Very nice.  I really like the texture on the sheath.  How'd you do it?

I use a pear tool, kind of a smooth tear drop shape. Then used antique brown finish which darkened the raised areas. It will probably get darker when it is oiled.

Not sure. It is a purchased blade. It has a satin finish, not highly polished. It does appear to have some kind of pattern in the photo...not really noticable in person.
