I decided to move my stuff from General to a more appropriate thread.
Not actually a knife, but you still a part of a knife as you have to be able to carry them somehow..well, thats my excuse anyway...

Just finished the last of this lot....

Let me know what you think...

Cool fly reel "sheath".
A suggestion is a cell phone belt sheath. My bro has one, however I prefer using the breast pocket with zipper, on my sweater.
In the middle of summer(too hot for a sweater), the belt sheath would be great!

Roger, forgot to tell you the other day I caught up with my nephew, grandnieces & their boyfriends, they gave my 'new' ZKW465 hornet a run so I'm reloading for that now! Offered the 450/400 to try out, only young Riley was game & gave it a a go, the nephew did rather well considering he's got far better eyes than me! We used the open topped ammo pouch you made, maybe not in a hunting situation but walking around, reloading from it gave no issues & held the empties without the slightest problem.
Job well done mate, love your work, winner for me!

Thanks Barry, good to hear some feedback.
I do make a pouch for the mobile phones Daryl, they're still in the prototype stage at the moment until I get them they way people want them....the pics are of ones I made for my brother-inlaw and a mate...

...the belt loop on the back swivels so you can swing it out of the way when you sit...

I'm not a knifemaker, but I laser cut these two out of a big sawmill blade to a rough design I made up and a mate ground and heat treated them for me. For personal use only, I wanted a big knife for skin removal and purely as a novelty, a modified Tracker "survival" knife...

...the top "Nessmuk" style has a 110mm blade and I'll handle it with some left over wood to match one of my rifle stocks. The lower knife is 280mm long and gets an Iron Bark handle with a small of the back sheath with pocket for a diamond sharpener.
