Another one for Canada
A beautiful east meets west knife by ABS mastersmith Bill Burke gets an east meets west sheath by yours truly......
The lower section carving was inspired by the carving on an original Japanses sword - the upper section is a rayskin overlay wrapped with black silk cord ala a Katana. The belt loop has a rayskin inlay....... Anyone note the "surprise"....... __________________ Chuck Burrows Hand Crafted Leather & Frontier Knives dba Wild Rose Trading Co Durango, CO chuck@wrtcleather.com www.wrtcleather.com The beautiful sheaths created for storing the knife elevate the knife one step higher. It celebrates the knife it houses. |

Thank Robert and it does look like a wild rose but I believe it is a hummingbird and cherry tree with blossoms, which would fit the Japanese original.........

Chuck, dear friend---------What a beautifully executed sheath!! The surprise could be multi-faceted instead of singular. The stitching on the face of the sheath is hidden and the welted edge of the sheath appears to be capped. The double guard of the knife is fitted into the interior of the sheath giving it the appearance of a pouch without the mass one would associate with that construction. Stitching at the mouth of the sheath would indicate either a lining is installed or the tooled face of the sheath is an overlay.
Did I come close? Best of the season to you and Linda------------------Sandy __________________ Martin (Sandy) Morrissey Master Leather Craftsman 1105 Stephens Road Blairsville, GA 30512 706-379-1621 |

I lost a bit of hair and a whole bunch more turned gray with this one - I'm sticking to frontier from now on - MUCH easier on the nerves! May you and yours also have a great holiday! Rick - Tai can't take the "blame" for this one...it is totally the product of my "fevered" brain! __________________ Chuck Burrows Hand Crafted Leather & Frontier Knives dba Wild Rose Trading Co Durango, CO chuck@wrtcleather.com www.wrtcleather.com The beautiful sheaths created for storing the knife elevate the knife one step higher.

I think it's great Chuck! I don't think I've seen anything like it, especially from you. You are full of surprises. Another piece of art from you that lives up to your slogan.
