Viking inspired knife and sheath

in #wearableart7 years ago (edited)

So I had this knife laying around that I got in poland. It was just a cheap knife made by schrade. So knew I wasn’t going to sell this to a customer. When I initiated the process I started by stripping the paint. Then I decided I would try to take it a step further by etching it. But my chemical wasn’t strong enough for the steel so I decided to carved it. (Not engraved). Then I took some caribou antler I had from a rack, and started making the scales for the handle. Then I took brass piping and wire and used those for the pins, layering leather between the handle of the knife and the carbou antler scales. Then I thought, well this knife looks decent, I mean i’ve already gone this far how about making a sheath for my boot. Then I thought well what happens if I want to wear it on my belt, so I thought yeah sure I will just make a little belt sheath, but no, knowing me I took it to the next level. I started making the sheath and had to make the decision between stitching or rivets?, I decided on rivets. How about a nice bronze trim for the top?, . Then I couldn’t stop there, I had to do a bronze trim all the way. And threw a valknot on with an oroborros ring. Amazing, it turned out fantastic. From a basic blade to a well thought out beautiful blade👌🏻👍🏻64DC4FFF-8D3B-447B-A612-7B23E7FFC9F0.jpeg41A90DC0-2C1D-4DFD-B255-7183B507BB08.jpeg3B5B8CE1-8DAE-4993-9142-2E2E1828812B.jpeg37339797-708F-4629-A6E3-DAA996F44C92.jpeg4F58F454-EC1C-4D60-9DB3-B606B34D7226.jpeg50674D46-6C86-4220-84F6-ACF729C8767A.jpeg67EB7A50-149E-48CA-9873-B82E495BD20E.jpeg03F8B2B5-262F-4BDC-AFEA-D496CD738C38.jpegCC05F73F-3677-4143-8AFC-CF3DC776E585.jpeg07CBAA5F-5108-4C4A-A711-4F4015142D66.jpeg23F826C6-9DB1-45C8-B209-FAE93EF2F662.jpeg9FCCB22B-CD9F-4905-B51F-CE44B99886A5.jpeg4070517D-B70D-4901-9ACC-3872909CBA03.jpeg183BCFE4-6D8D-4644-A3DA-F006A1ABF8AA.jpeg701B9D24-E8C1-4777-A6CC-0376A670253B.jpeg84E73B14-E517-4C6E-B99F-B5A10A77CB6B.jpeg88BDABC6-49A9-4785-9CDE-4A52162D0009.jpeg7317B85B-21A4-4BEF-89C7-CBBECE2BD723.jpegDE065A33-4849-47FA-99CA-38AFAC84D2B9.jpeg0FA94690-F161-48B2-81D9-14940D9D7B64.jpeg948162C3-2FC4-4619-84DB-1FF97B0B2E71.jpeg
