Mad Toad Leathercraft & Knives #19

The sheath is made of veg. tanned steer hide.  He used 20 gauge (.8 mm. ) bronze sheet for the shaped pieces on the edge of the sheath.  This is thicker than what one usually sees on this type of sheath.  It did not bend or pucker when riveted, and resulted in a smooth, even appearance.  The chain, O-ring, and shackle were formed from 1/8” and 3/16” (for the shackle) brass rods.  Rivets are all brass.  Tooling on the sheath is based on Viking Age designs.  The belt loop is made of chrome tanned shoe leather. 

Blade Length: 3 7/8"

Overall length: 9"

This has a longer handle than most that we have seen from John but this is quite traditional and comfortable in my opinion. The knife also fits into the sheath quite nicely as any quality puukko should.
