Antler sewing case

Just a fun little project. Decided an antler sewing case was needed so set too in making one up.

The body is a section of Red Deer antler drilled out. A Maple cap was made for the top and bottom and a leather cord passed through to hold it together and also hang it around the neck.

The waxed thread is wrapped around some antler winders I made. A few safety pins and needles held in a piece of deer skin leather complete the kit.

Handy for running repairs or little projects when out.

Recent Svord Peasant

I was asked to handle a Svord Peasant a little while ago. The blade had already had the heat treated finish removed but needed a little further cleaning up. The basic wooden handles work but can be made a lot prettier :)

Darren asked for Rosewood scales and the usual brass pins and spine spacer as this seems to be my prefered design. It's taken an age to do as I've had a few family commitments etc, but here it is at last. I'm really pleased with it and the rosewood has a weight that gives it a really solid feel.

I was then really chuffed to get this reply after posting it off.

You're really outdone yourself mate! It's so gorgeous. There was actually a brief spell of sunshine when I opened up the package. I kid you not!

Thank you so much for the work and effort you've clearly put in to make such a wonderful knife. I could not be happier.

Regards,

Darren
