new sheath, thanks Ray
Made this new sheath for MYSELF out of Manta Ray scraps gifted to me by Paul Cox, leather-craftsman of great repute. I really haven’t ever done much with skins, other than using them as a decorative inlay at odd times, but Paul gave me a bag of scraps and so i thought i’d play.
The skins came to me in this weird pale yellow, natural color, so i went to town and came up with this as a first experiment. The sheath is fully lined with cow and the binding along the edge is deerskin.
The blade was made by none other than “Halecky”, bladesmith of note, as payment for a barter deal. I make the sheaths for him when he gets a “fancy” order.
Something different for me, for sure.
Hope you all like.
