Leuku knife

Never thought much of Leukus in the past but lately they fascinate me with their utilitarian purpose. Feedback and thoughts appreciated.

That looks to be a big knife; good for heavy duty camp duties. I have a similar knife made for me many years ago by Dave Keable.

Finished the sheath yesterday . I tried to keep everything in the same theme and not stray too far from what would be a traditional Leuku. I think it all turned out ok.
