Utility Knife Case

[Brokenolmarine]

I asked Miss Tina to picked up a new Razor (Utility) Knife for me when she was at the Home Depot, and she came home with a nice high quality metal one.  No plastic garbage for the boss.  My old one was probably in the coop, her barn, the tractor shed, or her sewing/crochet/quilting shop....   I took it out of the package and noticed that it was a fixed blade model.  I could already feel my fingers getting cut.  I told her NOT to worry, I'd just make a case for it.  NOT a sheath, no belt loops, just a protective case to keep the blade sharp and fingers protected.  I didn't want this ending up riding around the farm on boot cut jeans. 

I dug a scrap of leather out of the bin, and knocked out the design in a couple hours.  Tooling?  Yup, I need the practice so I tool scraps laying on the bench from other projects. (Yup)  What I really need to do is start practicing floral carving. I suck at it.

Got it knocked out, the edges burnished and the holes knocked out, and then sewed it by hand.  I was happy.

I'm guessing you'd like to see the utility knife IN the case...

Great job on the tooling.  Amazing what we can make out of a piece of scrap.  Nicely done.

I quite like it too    Basket weave can be tricky, but that looks great. 

Just did a sheath with basket weave, I can safely say, I have improved quite a bit 

However , I have yet to master tri-weave.
