Here is a knife I have just finished making for my son for passing his exams in summer.

Blade is Poul Strande Zebra Damascus 73 mm
Handle Buffalo horn bolster stainless steel spacer and Black Palm wood
The sheath is made from half tanned leather and is left handed by accident but live and learn

Very nice.

As you have messed it up by makeing a left handed sheath, you could always send it to me as I am a southpaw. And please do not forget to include the knife.

That looks like something you'd want to sit and look at for hours and hours.

What a winning combination of materials and craftsmanship!

Deserves its own case in a museum.

Thanks Red.
Thats what I was aiming for, the boy mostly wanted "one of them fancy patterned blades".
