Could be a bit better in hindsight since I learned a few things but I’m pretty happy with it nonetheless. Made from poplar, carved it all by hand, filed and sanded it, has neodymium magnets embedded inside to hold the knife and scabbard together, stained the wood and painted into the carvings with white enamel paint and then waxed the whole thing.

Wood work is fun.

    Thanks! I had to buy a magnifying visor and some pin files for this project because while carving that out was pretty straightforward, sanding inside of the grooves etc there was not haha.
