One for myself

[undeg01]

I make lots of knives for other people but finally made a hunting knife for myself. I was pushed a little by my buddies making fun of me for making knives yet always carrying a Buck in the field.

Blade is D2 tool steel and used Buckeye for the handle. My plans are for this one to be my carry knife for all my big game hunts.

No I need your help. Who would you recommend to make a good, heavy duty sheath? I'm thinking a canted horizontal sheath for comfort while in the vehicle, sitting on the ground, etc.

That is a slick looking knife.

Super nice! Wish I could help you out with the leatherwork. No idea who to recommend.

Love that knife.

Look up Alan Johnston or 76 Leather on the facebooks. His brother Dave owns Diamond D Leather Custom Leather in Alaska (featured in Guns Magazine, Cabela's, etc) and he spent more than a year there recently learning from him. He's back now, and working out of his house in Blanchard. He could do something for you I'm sure. Tell him his nephew-in-law Ryan sent you.

ETA, the blade is gorgeous btw, scales look amazing.

Could do some serious skinning with that for sure. Nice job.

I really like the way the butt fattens out.

Yes. I was waiting to get home so I could look at the name stamped on 2 of my custom sheaths, but that is who it is.

You like fat butts and you cannot lie?
