I wanted a traditional looking sheath to go with a Queen Cutlery butcher knife (note rosewood scales)I found in an old hardware store in Athens, AL for $15.00. This sheath is made entirely from scraps. The fringe is from the flap of an old shooting bag I made years ago. It is alum tanned deer hide and was the excess I removed from the flap because it was too long. The sheath itself is leftover cowhide dyed with wet crushed walnut hull paste. All the stitching is with linen thread from Walmart. The harness rivets were a gift. Friends made the spoon & striker and they were gifts from them. A good friend gave me the hawk which is forged from a gun barrel. This hobby can be done cheap if you aren't too picky and you have good friends.
