Very nice indeed, Kronckew, and the others too. I made the tip of the scabbard with a piece of black buffalo horn which I shaped to look like ones I had seen on traditional scabbards. The big challenge with the making of most ethnographic scabbards is proper, sturdy coverage of the knife with the use of minimum material (like in this Kurdish khanjar scabbard, and also with Nepali kukri scabbards! The latter scabbards present additional challenges.
Your thimble tip looks great! Johan |
