Another knife i've handled- the handle is spalted beech, the blade is made by polar. My leather work is much to be desired! Criticisms and opinions on how to improve would be much appreciated. :)

That Spalted Beech is stunning and those polar blades are good. Looks first rate fella.

Looks a great start on sheath making. Far better than my early attempts. One point would be to pay attention to wet forming down the spine well to avoid that bump. No idea of there is a good way, I just attacked that spot to try and keep the line. I'm no leather guy, so feel free to ignore all I said :)

Difficult to improve on those, mate - they look great to me! If you want to get any posher than that I reckon you just have to keep making them for years.,.................Very nice work :)
