Here are a couple that I just got back from my sheath maker.

This one is one of my GP (general purpose) Hunters. It was a commission from a co-worker. He wanted a "little black dress with pearls." I went with stabilized ebony for the handle. To add a little touch to catch the eyes I put a couple spacers of black and metal. The sheath is made by a friend who has been making sheaths for around 60 years. This one has faux snake and sting ray. He's the only person I know who can do these and make you thing it is an inlay. Normally the snake skin is colored to duplicate rattle snake but in this case it needed to keep with the black theme.



This one was made for a retiring military member but he left before I could give it to him. So I couldn't figure out what to do with it. One of my Lamont brothers said he had a friend who had retired from the Navy and he would like this. So we made an arrangement. He would make a donation to the Lamonts for the knife. This is one of my Spearpoint Gent's EDCs (everyday carries) using live oak from the USS Constitution. I got some when I did a couple of my 2 week a year duty in the Reserves on the ship in Boston. Of the 10-15% of the ship that is still original it is normally considered this. I sent it to my sheath maker to make a sheath can be used as a sqian dubh. In this one he simulated elephant skin.
