Armadillo hide...we call them Texas speed bumps. But it sure looks good on that knife.

Yes, it is the top part of the scabbard. The blade is within; the circular guard with handle are locked in the sheath. Pushing a very small fixture beneath the handle near the guard releases the lock for easy removal. The following photo is of the sheath near its tip. The sheath is metal precluding the warping over time of the traditional lacquered wooden sheath. In the islands of the South Pacific wood would have quickly deteriorated.

These two belong to Sundog, and were made by one of our local knife makers Calvin Klein (no not that Calvin Klein, no blue jeans here). The steel is ATS34 with some nice file work on the spines. The handles on both is buffalo horn. The sheaths are also handmade by Calvin.
This one is 8 1/4" overall length.

Truly beautiful work. I especially like the treatment of the bolster. Does Mr. Klein have a web site?

Yes, he is right here in Sioux Falls. I don't believe he has a website, but if you google Calvin Klein Custom knives Sioux Falls, SD you will find him. Disregard all the hits you get for Calvin Klein jeans. LOL!!

Wouldn't you want to be seen out in the woods hunting and carrying one of these on your belt. If you catch the sun just right you could suffer permanent eye damage. Blade is stainless steel, handle appears to be chrome plated cast aluminum. Hmm, wonder if anyone collects these?

They made Bowies also and they say James Bowie or such-some are mounted on boards some come with a leather sheath. I don't know the time frame.
I've never seen one like yours tho.

Here's a few pics of my newest that arrived in the mail Saturday. LT Wright Frontier First model in a flat grind A2 steel at 5-1/2" oal. I love the stag handles and the black liners add to the looks. Been wanting a small fixed blade for some time to use as a belt or neck carry and this one will work both ways. Used it right after unboxing to cut a deer skin lanyard and it sliced thru like butter. Made a quick antler button from a deer shed this morning.
It's small handle requires a three finger grip and putting my pinky finger thru the strap between the butt of the knife and the antler button assures that it won't be accidentally dropped. Really like this knife, one of my smarter buys for sure. :)
Thanks for lookin'

Thanks doglegg, I gotta say I've only had it for about 48 hrs but I bet I've taken it outta the sheath 50 times already to fondle and stare at and have convinced myself that I'm quite please with it. :D
