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!
