When I obtained the knife up in Pigeon Forge, TN at the Smokey Mountain Knife Works I wanted a sheath that would both be able to be hung from my kilt belt, have easy/fast access, and not get in the way when I am doing photo work in the mountains, as well as provide a match for a sporran that I had in mind. Steve took my ideas and made them into a true work of art, sturdy, and reflecting the Celtic theme. I couldn't be more pleased. The knife was also my way of trying to find something that was both semi-traditional, large enough to actually do some good, and with simple lines. It is made by Smith and Wesson with good construction, quality steel and sharp blades....for a whopping 20.00. Together, the two could not be more to my liking. Steve is a MASTER craftsman!!!!!!
