impressive stuff. @ANOTHERHUNTER is the top section of the sheath the underside of the leather folded over? really interesting colours from the brain tanning

what sort of fish skin is it? durable?

The handle is an old weathered bit of jarah fence pailing I found on a job. I kept the cracked outside instead of sanding it off. funny story about that knife.I posted it up on a knifemaking forum I belonged to,and said it was bear grillis grandfathers knife for a joke,but actually fooled a few people
The top of the sheath is the folded over normal leather liner,and only the light coloured leather is thar.
The fish skin is moki,but ive tried a few different types.they are too thin for making stuff out of, only good for inlay type stuff. my wallet has got spotted stargazer skin on it and so far it has lasted well.(couple of years in my pocket.

This looks awesome, wicked work

So finally made an ammo wallet thingamajig thanks to @LOC who generously donated the leather for me to have a play some months back!
