Posted By: Sportsdad60 What do I have here? - 10/15/17
This was from a hunter who took tons of deer and elk during his 89 years on this earth.

It appears to be a bone handle (It is WHITE bone, the photos make it look yellow), brass fittings, very sharp blade. No markings.
Blade LxW is 4 1/8" x 1.5" at widest.
Very heavy!

Unfortunately it appears that the end of the sheath has been chewed off by a critter.
Where can I find a custom sheath? Ebay was of no help.

Cool find. That knife has a lot of character and I'm sure could tell some great stories.

Make a leather or metal cover for the scabbard tip, place it over the damaged end and glue/lace it on.

Not a bad idea 30Gibbs!

If you looking to have one made, Ken Honeycutt is your guy. Does great work.

I have a couple of Rick Menefee's knives that used sheaths from Mr. Parsons - very good quality.
Good luck on your quest.

I've got an Amish guy that makes all my sheaths, they're great. Pm me for questions.

Thank you for the recommendations fellas! I'm going to give Mr. Parsons a shout out.

Are you sure that's not ivory?
