I am sure that a kit like this would be too easy for a lot of folk on iKC . This is the first step for me though and I am happy how it turned out .

The sheath is very nice really thick leather . I would have loved one of these when I used to do a lot of shooting and deer stalking , may have had a Micarta handle for heavy duty use though . Much as I love African Blackwood it may not be the best choice for heavy use . This won't get any hard use !

Well John...you impress me!

It appears to have gone together well and looks great. Congrats on the first build!

Thank's Jan , I must admit it was pretty easy which is a good thing I think . I hope to do a few Puukot's in the future from just the blades , I doubt that I will be forging my own blades though ! I figure on being able to find enough birch bark to make the handles locally.
