New sheath for old knife...

[littlejohn]

Hi fellas,

I've had this knife for a while now but never really liked the sheath that came with it....

I had this scrap lying round so I knocked up a new one for it...The leather is really tough and was very hard to stamp...even after a good soaking....The stamping is not very pronounced but it still looks a bit fancier than a plain sheath...

It has a nice wel in it to protect the stitch line and you cant shake the knife out even if you turn it upside down....very snug...

I dyed the leather ...It appears a chocolate colour but in light it has alot more light browns thru it as well...I just cant take a decent pic....

The knife itself I took a punt on ebay...

OAL: 8 1/2 "
Blade 4 1/2"
Handle:4" Ebony
Very sharp and hardy knife.

Kind thanks to Perry for tips and generosity on this one...
Regards...Pete

G/Day Pete, I had the same Knife, but with Bone Scales. I bought mine from a Medievil reinactment supply store. They are made in India and quite a reasonable little Knife for the money.

Good to see your making Progress, the Sheath looks Good. Pleased those DVD's where helpfull. Always happy to hand on Tips / Traditional Archery Skills to anyone who wants to learn. Are you choosing to double space the Basket Weave Tool like that ?? They are a very versatile Tool and the patterns you can create with them are only limited by your imagination !!
