Little sheath for my marlin spike knife
Gezzer replied to Gezzer's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
Advice taken ------ no wet forming , a knot that can be recognized ( maybe ) , tried to straighten my edges . Thanks guys ! I sat here and tried to copy my own knot tied in paracord , that is why there are no strands . I was going to strand it but decided I had messed up enough on this little project already Still got a fat place in one cord but because it is just for me , I'm gonna live with it . I would have to redo it yet again if it were for someone . @chuck123wapati Yes you do need one ! -

@Mulesaw I took this from an image I found on the web . Did not cross my mine what knot it was . Sitting here recreating it , it is a malformed square knot so I will work from my own knot and I think I can work this out . Tomorrow ......LOL !! -

It is a quality tool , well made and all about function !!! You are exactly right about the knot while beginning to lay out the tooling window for a redo I noticed that I had not beveled far enough where you are talking about . Also I think I have the tag end in wrong place , I believe it should be under the bend . I will try and correct all of it on the redo ! Thank you -

@Dwight Thank you for being kind . I guess doing a little tooling on some box tops that I make and wet forming those , I thought I could just do that anywhere . The difference being just having to form 5/8 " on the outside of the radius .... and the tooling area staying flat . I will take some advice and just tool the redo . Thank you ! -
I got this Myerchin about 2 years back , came with nice nylon sheath but it is still nylon . Anyway I thought today I would make something leather for it . Missed with locating the tooling where I wanted it and lost some definition in the tooling when I wet formed . I will probably end up trying this again .

for a little while and NO it is not because of some great self restraint .................................. I'm outa what I consider scrap Do we have any PHOBIAS in the house ? While this is a long ways from looking real it might be enough ..... I dunno . Last chance

Quite a nice way to start down the path !!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks , it has grown on me but like I say it is not the best use of material . I guess a person could make something similar but with symmetrical curves for the pattern so as to flip and not waste much .

Like I said I think it is nice but more important the reason you did it ! I will suspect that you may be a tad stressed about your friend , so let this just slide off your back . I'd like to see some more so post away !

@fredk Thanks and glad you liked it . @chuck123wapati Thanks and glad you liked it , I just figured to challenge myself in finding " a kid who knows " in todays world

and it is nothing special except I did this one a good while back ( one of my first ) . My daughter had a local maker do a knife for me and because I had told her I was about to start messing with some leather , she didn't require a sheath with it . I look at it with some pride but mostly sadness as the knife maker who had been a lifelong friend has since left this world . He did great blacksmithing work and would help anybody any time !!! I sure do miss that ole boy . any way I have improved a little since this one , not much maybe but some
