Knife 12 and Sheath 4

A smaller blade this time, but designed in what feels like it is becoming my "signature style".

The blade is a Bowie shape, defined by the curved cutting edge and the straight back, which drops down to the pointed tip.  This one features a hidden tang stainless steel blade with a hickory handle, brass guard and blue insert behind the guard.  The handle has a slightly curved back and is polished with beeswax to give it a rich lustre.

Dimensions are:
Blade: 100mm long, 30mm high, 4mm thick (4.0" x 1.18" x 0.16")
Handle with guard: 100mm long, 33mm high, 24mm thick (4.0" x 1.3" x 0.94")
Overall length: 200mm (8.0")

The sheath is made of the same leather as the previous ones, a very simple wrap-around style, which I moulded to the shape of the handle. This provides a snug fit that will not slip off accidentally.

Enjoy the photos.
