Sheaths

Did a bit of leatherwork the other day, something I haven't done for years. I used some old scrap leather and made a Leatherman sheath for a mate....



...and a rear crossdraw knife sheath for myself, I'm a bit out of practice so they're a bit ordinary....

Geez wish I could be that “ordinary”. I couldn’t do that if I tried. I like them, very practical

Mate. If they are what you call "a bit ordinary" I can hardly wait to see what you do when you're back in form. Nice work.

Re: Sheaths

Now they are nice. Good work and nothing "ordinary" about them.

Re: Sheaths

yumastepside - are those hand stitched, or do you have a machine for that?
Very nice, BTW.

Re: Sheaths

Nice. A combined leatherman and torch pouch would be useful.

Re: Sheaths

Hand stitched, lined on the back with an oiled leather, drainage hole in the end of the knife scabbard....all done individually to suit whatever they are to hold.

Re: Sheaths

Certainly not 'ordinary' work there Roger - wish i was as good!
My work would look bloody rough compared to that.

Re: Sheaths

I've done leather work since 12-13 years old, so I do know good work, VERY nice. Your edges look skived and burnished and hand stitching is extremely nice. I like the design of the knife sheath, its unique and looks efficient.
