My first Scandi style knife
bobnewboy:
Hi Guys,
Thanks again for the comments. John, the knife has a 125mm / 5 inch working blade length, with a max width of 28mm / just over 1 inch. The knife type is more for a drawing type cut than a push-type cut, but I think it gives great lines and a measure of that classic Scandi shape. In the sheath the overall length is 240mm / 9.6 inches.
Eric, I'm not that disappointed with the sheath, but I think I could have done better. There's always the next one. ;D It is a bit lumpy, and not as smooth as I had hoped, especially around the 'foot' or drain area. I'm guessing this is because I used thick leather pieces to reinforce the blade area, whereas I perhaps should have used some better fitting and smoothed light wooden pieces, as I believe is more traditional. My next knife is in glue up, and when it is made I'll try to do a stitch-along as it is done.
