I got into leatherwork a few years ago and do mostly belts and holsters but these are some of the sheaths I've completed.
The latest is this rawhide sheath for a Green River Hunter that I aged. Deer rawhide, deerskin fringe over an 8-9oz veg-tan liner. Antique trade beads, aged tin cones and brown horse hair. Stitched with artificial sinew. Bone handle knife has some file work and patina.
Elephant hide for a custom ivory/damascus bowie by Russell White. Toggle is warthog tusk.
Elephant hide again for a Kim Ralston spey pattern.
Beaded and fringed sheath for an ML Knives hunter. Veg-tan 8-9oz body with crosshatch pattern, deerskin cuff with 8/0 pound beads, aged hairpipe, tin cones, horse hair, antique brass spots, a few antique but mostly modern beads. Double whip stitch mainseam with artificial sinew.
