What did ya make it from. I gotta say I like that knife.<><

[Dirty Bill]

Thanks.That knife was made by Tim Zowatta in michigan.
I made the sheath from some blacksmith side leather scraps I had.

I used a vegetable tanned piece of leather for the welt,it's was meant for holster or sheath making.

I needed it to add stiffness to the soft blacksmith hide,to keep it's shape.

I took pictures of the whole process,and plan on putting it in the how I dun it section..

That looks great Jeff. How long is the blade? here's a pic of one I got awhile back from Bendbig. He made it . I just finished the handle. The one that was on it did not fit my hand well. Ebony & Bubinga with a shedua spacer. I will be carrying this knife alot. A very solid knife it is. <><

I have to say,since I been carrying my knife as a neck knife,it's the best thing since sliced bread.

I carry it even when I'm not hunting. If any of you all haven't tried one,I gar-n-tee you love it.

Here is a collection of mine. No measurements but you can see a arrow nock for size comparison.
 
Steel is from recycled lawnmower blades. (O-1 ?)
