CFM chuck123wapati Posted September 22, 2022 CFM Report Posted September 22, 2022 Just finished this for a fellow. He brought over an old Indian river knife kit blade he had laying around for years. it cleaned up real nice. He just wanted simple leather so i made this also. For those wondering the wider snap loop has a function it is because the knife is handle heavy so if i were to put a standard loop at the bottom of the handle the sheath would tend to tilt. raising and widening the loop puts the balance point higher solving the problem. Sheath 9 oz with canyon tan, water proofed with mink oil and ready for the hunt. Quote Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!
CFM tsunkasapa Posted September 22, 2022 CFM Report Posted September 22, 2022 Very nice, clean lines. Very often simplicity is the best course. Quote Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?

Members dikman Posted September 22, 2022 Members Report Posted September 22, 2022 Simple, olde-school style, can't go wrong with that. Knife looks nice too, just needs a bit of patina on the blade (too shiny ). Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500.
