Featured Comment by Charles Sample on June 6, 2015 at 18:09: Looking good Tobias!

Comment by jack walker on June 6, 2015 at 15:17: I will be looking at some friction folders soon at a custom knife show this month. I will see if i like them. They look like they would be easy to make at a reasonable price. I may just get one. Thank you for showing them.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on June 6, 2015 at 14:53: My recent obsession has been full tang utility fishing Knives (aka Bait knives) I bought one from eBay's sirbladesalot (Steve Koontz of Knives Live Fame) a few weeks ago for dirt cheap. The sheath was so dry rotted that it pretty much fell apart but the knife was in pretty good shape. Good enough that it deserved a new sheath so I started making one. I wanted to make something that was fitting for this old Colonial. I wanted it to be a one of a kind multi-functional sheath and I wanted it to me for folk-art than hi-tech. Here what I have so far

First the Colonial knife with its ivory colored jigged delrin scales.

I opted to use wood for the sheath, Nothing says folk art like wood

A fish scabbard for a fish knife!

The leather strap was the only part of the original sheath worth saving! I broke my rivet gun attaching it to the wood. What knid of wood?   I'm not sure, I bought it several years back when I was making some new knife scales. The scabbard is made of 4 layers or the wood held together with waterproof marine epoxy.

Tthe scabbard was rough shaped using a jeweler's saw, and an exactor knife and then card and shaped using a dremel and one rough rider whittler. I've still got a long way to go, more sanding, painting, laquering, etc.   I also need to add the ruler to back side of the the scabbard that will not only measure my catch but be used to attach the fish scabbard to a belt! That will be the multi function part.   I'm also thinking of adding a scale for weighing fish.

The bottom of the scabbard is open to allow fro drainage.    You can see some spots that need filling. I'll post more when the job is done!
