[Sprung]

Shoot me a pm @Sprung I'm sure we could work something out.

Thanks, Rich! Will do - when my wife isn't keeping me busy with a honey-do list.

Loosely translated... When she's asleep and don't know he's wheeling and dealing on a hunting knife!!

Here is what I have so far. View attachment 130455

So far?! That looks like practically a finished product. It is absolutely gorgeous!

Well here's the all said and done. Hope you like it bud. (Forgot you wanted to make a sheath, so if you don't want this one just let me know).

@Sprung - Uhmmm... Matt close your eyes when passing those posts with pictures above! You might forget you were supposed to wait for the wife to go to bed, errr... I mean let you get done with the honey-do list, and start negotiating prematurely while drooling all over your keyboard!

Nah, my wife's cool with it, lol. I had actually mentioned a couple months or so ago that I wanted to see about doing a trade with a knife maker sometime for another knife. No issues with her - not even a fake "Go for it" where the tone says you shouldn't!

I really was working on some honey-do stuff! (And today as well - but I also got into the shop for a good chunk of the afternoon.)

Rich - the knife is gorgeous! My only observation is that it got upstaged by that sheath .
What would it take to get you to do a tutorial on that leather carving process in the classroom?

 

[therichinc]

@NYWoodturner I did not do this sheath. I had it made by a saddlemaker friend of mine. He does all of our fancier sheaths. I will do a go pro video next time I'm over there if he will let me haha. A sheath like this one costs between 65-100$ depending on size.

@therichinc great looking knife and sheath. What wood did you use in the handle?

 

[Eric Rorabaugh]

@therichinc beautiful knife. Love to have that, and the sign beneath it!

 

[therichinc]

@Foot Patrol it was some BEB Burl that @NYWoodturner sent to me.
@Eric Rorabaugh thanks and yea those older signs pop up from time to time and usually draw a pretty penny

 

[norman vandyke]

Got my knife in the mail over the weekend and it is so much better in person. @therichinc did a fantastic job making this for me. And...it...is...sharp!

Thank your so much!

I'm not as good at carving/tooling as that sheath, but would be happy to show the process over there if anyone is interested.
