Made a pouch sheath for my Ontario belt knife and also a pack style sheath with stone pocket for it as well. Just need to clean and bevel the edges, seal, and then wax the leather and its all done.

Top work again Gundy ,,, what weight /grade is the leather and where do you get it from ?

I think it is refered to as "Saddle Leather".

It is quite thick but you can manipulate it and soften it up with 'snowseal'.

I get all my leather stuff from "H Leffler and Son" in Melbourne. Got some more to make a couple of back quivers the other day also, great people to deal with.
