Two new sheaths in the making.

Greg1933 · 21-01-2008, 21:42

Here's a couple of sheaths I am working on at the moment, they still have a bit of work to be done on them but they're getting there!

nice one buddy

What knives are they for?

Good stuff mate.

Lately I've gone off firesteel loops on sheaths in favour of a more traditional look

Nice job

I still fumble to get the correct tightness round the handle...must persevere. Look forward to seeing the finished sheaths..

More photos:

Sewing the belt loop.

Belt loop sewn & sheath glued together.

Away for a few minutes drilling the holes in preparation to sow........................

Let sowing commence:
Threading the needles

.

First Stitches:

Job Done - well the first sheath anyway, No2 tomorrow!

Now to clean the sheath up, dye it and when the knife is done wet mold it, not alot really!

Welll done Greg, its good to make and recieve things that people you know and friends make etc, makes them all that more special eh

I finished them both off today and I am chuffed to bits.

The second one all sewn up

Looking quite good on my belt but they still need work!

A dab of dark brown dye and they're looking better already.

Its also ideal for the Frosts Mora!

Looking good but need a bit of a shine!

Nice and shiny, all done!
