    beautiful sgians. I like the bogwood sheath. both are a work of art. a work of warning though. a wood sheath tends to hold moisture and it can cause discoloration or ruin a blade if stored for a long period of time.

    Cheers Remus.. The timber is bone dry as it gets to me and it's all sealed when I'm done, also an added liner on the inside, I went through that a few years back with a different timber I was using so lesson learnt me thinks😉

    Very nice work! What type of steel are you using for the blades?
