Mike,

They all look good. Do you also make book covers? Or book covers that will hold a revolver?

Knives, Swords, 'hawks, etc / Beaded sheath

I've been looking for accessories to go with my flintlock and came across this beaded neck knife sheath at a reasonable price. It beats the hell out of the homemade sheath I've been using. The knife is the first one I ever made and didn't really know what I was doing but it's a great patch knife. I made it out of a circle saw blade a long time ago. That's not rust on the blade it's some kind of stain. It will come off. Not that rust bothers me. Most of the knives I've rehafted have been rusty relics. Now that I have this snazzy sheath I may cut it down and add a poured pewter butt cap.

I think it looks great, Hawg. I enjoy projects, even ones where I've never attempted that particular skill.

I recently got these modern made spear points. I was intending to make a neck/patch knife out of one but they're too big and bulky. I can't find any original points that look exactly like them. They still look cool tho. I've got a couple of pieces of elk antler that will make good handles. Whacha think? Any other ideas on what to do with them?

Thanks BC and Z. I made it years ago but it just had rough wood scales. I put the antler and pewter on it I guess about 8 or 9 years ago.

Hawg, The pewter is nice. Did you have to melt the pewter and make a mold or how/what did you do?

I wrapped brown paper around it and taped it down tight then poured the melted pewter in and filed it off smooth. It could use some more smoothing but if I haven't done it by now I probably won't.
