Nice sheath. The knife was ugly. Simple factory knife.

I thought this was how to make it ! Oh well , nice sheath though.
maby a Shoshoni knife sheath
very very nice both the bead work and the knife and the sheath is outstanding
The bead work is Navajo my people do that beading
Very nice sheath ! Love the bead work.
The beadwork is probably "Oklahoma Rainbow" or "Southern Rainbow" style, Southern Plains as far as I know, a fairly recent style. It certainly isn't over 30 years old, the Bowie, maybe 50-60 tops. The sheath is probably cowhide, but it may be moose, I can't see it or feel it to tell for sure. It IS very nice, though, very, very nice!
The style is high plains yonkee maybee cree ide have to look into it more but the bead work is not taditional I know. Its done well but usually patterns are diamond shapes or star type symbols . the designs actually made were thousands and so were the number of tribes. nice sheath.
dude if you make a vid like this at least know how you pronounce the word Soligen, or admit that you don't know how.
Most of all American natives beaded. But it looks like its either a brick stitch or payote stitch.
That's a beauty. Any shrunken heads?
