Very nice work.
Full horizontal crossdraw sheath?
Looks very similar to my Ramos custom.

yep its a full horizontal. A good friend of mine is a game keeper (British version of a PH) and I remember him saying how annoying he finds a vertical carry sheath. Not only that but if you end up upside down for some odd reason you got your knife handy.

@mdwest regarding a forge... can’t it double as a pizza oven? Now it sounds like a gift to the family!

I enjoy reading this thread and looking at what you Gents can make.

One of the @Von Gruff knives I got and gifted in February was used last weekend by its owner: a 14 year old boy processing his first archery deer. Beautiful knife!

Very Nice, hope we can meet again at another AH dinner when things go back to normal.

I cheated and would purchase ground blanks from a guy in Idaho Falls. I built them for my kids. The sheaths were premade and I would soak fit in beeswax and a saddle conditioner. Someday I’ll work up to the complete but I enjoyed it and my kids prize theirs.

The few scandi edge knives that I have used seemed to want to cut in a circle, which I presumed was the direction of the edge. but maybe it was just me.
