I have a few ideas I would like to try out after talking to you chaps (and @hunter Al.7mm08 in particular)... I quite like the idea of bordering the sleeve with lace for example like the 45/70. I might get out the magic teaspoon and see what other tools I can experiment with for designs/drawing into the leather and have a play on some scraps.
Probably the longest and deepest/widest bladed knife would give me a bit more space. If I use lace I might make some more antler beads too maybe... depends on how much use you intend for the sheath as to how carried away and ornate I get I suppose. I have a habit of getting a little carried away...but I would like to try and make something a wee bit special for you if I can. Can't be just a plain boring old sheath for a man such as yourself. We can discuss the details when I know the knife intended for the sheath.
