Knife Sheath

[doubleh]

I've been a member of the forum for a couple of years now but I haven't posted any of my work. To tell the truth I don't do much anymore but here is a picture of a sheath I made last summer.

I built this knife around 25 years ago for my wife when we were both still deer hunting. The original sheath was getting pretty beat up so I made a new one. It is made from 9-10 oz. Herman's Oak and the pattern is from a Tandy book of belt patterns modified a little to fit. It has a welt and is hand stitched with waxed nylon thread and finished with Neat Lac. I made it to ride high enough to sit in a truck seat while on your belt.

Boy I do like this sheath;;clean and to the point;; very nice tooling ;;and a good design ;; is the strap sewn to the out side? or did you slot and sew to the inside???

Well done ....Doc....

Thanks. It's slotted and sewn inside.
