My 4th Century Knife
#24
I used maple hardwood for the chape, carved out to fit (same wood as the handle). I used 5-6oz veg tanned leather for the sheath. Dyed it red and then used waxed natural linen thread for the stitching.

I custom made the "buttons" for the strap. Using sheet brass which I domed, for both a front and back. I filled them with solder and put a brass post between them. Then inscribed them and silvered them (quite a process actually!).
