New clothes for an old hook.

Ayup all,

Been a while since i had a tinker with some leather work but this hook needed a sheath. Last bits of leather I had and the end of three rolls of thread. Broke my last needle on the last stitch

There is a loop on the back is for attaching to the side of my pack. The hook is an old lawson and Jarret, fantastic bit of kit which i use a lot for bow work and also just demolished a pyrocanthus with it!

Like i say a bit rusty and my stitching leaves a lot to be desired but atleast its safe now.

Very nice buddy, looks bombproof that

Cheers bud. Bomb proof was what I was going for

Looks hilarious on the belt, comes half way down my thigh lol. Proper Rambo.
Main thing is it fits on the side of my pack using the belt loop and extra back loop so will do the trick.
This design is one I have copied from memory but works great and has a nice clunk as you seat the hook and straps just keep it so.
