tried something different on this one UPDATED WITH SHEATH

[pappy]

the sheath is my work too... I patterned after theirs but theirs is so small this style fits the knife....I tooled the front using a handmade stamp for basket weave look...WHAT YA THUNK NOW?

I think it looks pretty sweet.

Nice work Pappy!
A friend makes knives occasionally.  He wrapped the handle in a vine in a kind of Celtic knot looking pattern and then used a black colored epoxy that you can see into to dip over all that.  It's a very cool looking handle for a knife.
I'd post a pic if I could.  I know you could pull it off if you can find a pic. 
Great work there!

thanks everyone for the kind words, if you could see these blanks before I start working on them you would swear they needed to be thrown in the trash...LOL....but man a few hours later they shine...I use a 3 - 1/2" ceramic belted grinder for cutting the hollow ground in them, and eye ball the straight line down the center....so they are not perfect but they are worthy of coming out of my shop...

Nicely done Pappy, in Holly, Snakewood or Desert Iron it would really pop in my opinion.
