First Sheath

[Zbearclaw]

So after finally finishing my knife to match my recurve I needed to make a sheath for it.

Knowing I had basically made a rib breaker with a fixed knife with a sharp grip, and the fact that I hate vertical hang fixed blades it was easy to decide to make a horizontal carry sheath.

I got the tooling leather from Big Jim's Bow company when I ordered a new set of arrows and spent a month or so occasionally chewing on the shapes and such.

Here she is.  Natural veg-tanned 8-9ozs tooling leather dyed with black liquid rit dye, sewn with black artificial senew.

 

 

 

 

I learned a lot and am going to start dad's here in a day or so.  I won't screw his up and cut it backwards so he can carry his on his right side...

Zeke, I like that combo a bunch!  I think you did a great job on your first sheath!

And the knife is very nice too, especially the handle materials and finish!

Did you use a super glue finish on that?

Made an epoxy finish, am really happy with it thus far.

Thanks for the compliments.  Don't tell my wife, but I got another hobby!!!
