When last we left you, Mr. Legendary Leather was creatively thinking of a primitive sheath that would compliment the mighty fine knife he had crafted from Mr. Hot Tamale's generous donation of bleached elk antlers. Well, here it is and I think you'll agree that he was a crafty little devil at that.
Take note of the unusually shaped buckskin added to the right side of the sheath.
Mr. Legendary Leather crudely carved a floral design on the front of the sheath in keeping with the rustic look the bleached elk antler handle and primitive blade gave to oveall look of the set.
By "crudely" carving the design instead of "tooling', a more primitive and rustic appearance is given.
Now here's where your vote is needed. Regarding the buckskin piece that has been added to the right side of the sheath . . . do you think Mr. Legendary Leather should leave it the way it is (unusually shaped) or do you think he should cut it into a "fringed" edging?
VOTE!
I say somewhere in between. Maybe ragged, but a little more evenly ragged in width.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of leaving the buckskin "natural," but would have to see it being worn. Is it incongruous to have a finished sheath with an unfinished element?
ReplyDeleteNice looking knife, by the way!
