@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  !!

One thing I learned from boy scouts almost 70 years ago . . . and since . . . there is no such thing as a malformed square knot.  They might be UGLY square knots. . . but they always work.

They come apart just like the pretty ones do.

Granny knot???  That's another animal . . . I'll mess with it for a moment or two . . . then my Kershaw comes out . . . and it is forever undone . . . no funeral . . . just undone.

But there are any number of knots out there . . . some are good ones . . . some need the Kershaw treatment.  But both of the knots on both sheaths are good looking ones.  I have to do stamps on things like that . . . my tooling is something to seriously be desired for better.

May God bless,

Dwight

I just can't leave well enough alone but this time I think this helped at least it did no harm  LOL !!

 

 

I am having a hard time with photos ,,,,, looks like 2 different sheaths

that is  looking good!   Your light source probably, different lights throw a different color spectrum  so they make photos appear different. My favorite knot is the Bowline i use it a lot when dragging critters out of canyons lol but sometimes they get to tight to get loose without one of those spikes. i use a screw driver lol i really should make one i have about a thousand feet of rope in various lengths and sometimes i use it all.

I love knots and I should have said " undressed "       I'm going to borrow your   " no funeral " somewhere down the road 

 

I guess while I'm righting things I owe Mulesaw  in sailors speak ............ reef knot

 @chuck123wapatiYou may not be tying the bowline right  it breaks real easy where the pencil is pointing . With thumb break it back along the standing end .  But now you may have some really BIG critters

LOL oh i tie it right but when you tie 500 lbs of elk on one end and a 3/4 ton truck on other, drag it through 1000 feet of sage brush and service berry shrub up a canyon wall it gets tight believe me. That's why i use it lol its the easiest to get undone. My brothers and hunting partners all use knots they don't even have a name for sometimes I don't let them tie my rope anymore. i learned most of my knots working on drill rigs back in the 70s and 80s its amazing how much much technology they used from sailing ships

@chuck123wapati

Brothers and hunting partners figured if ya can't tie a knot tie a lot  Carpentry/ construction did a little borrowing from the old sailors as well .

 

I worked with some hands in construction that thought themselves  RIGGERS that I would not have let tie my boots !!!!

@Gezzer It looks great now! 
The knot is easily recognisable and I really like the contrast of the stained strands on the light background.

Is there a belt loop on the back of the sheath?

I was just wondering, cause I once made a sheath for a thin pocket knife years ago where the idea was to just have something to keep pocket dust out of the mechanism of the knife. So the sheath just protected the knife from the harmful environment of my pocket.

Thank you Sir !! 

I did put a belt loop on the back but in truth it will never see much use . I carry this in the ruler pocket on my Carharts .

That looks great @Gezzer.  I forgot how to tie knots from by Boy Scout days and end up with some crazy ones for sure.  What a wonderful project.  Way to overcome the challenges.  Very nice.
