Knife sheath: Simply not simple!

[YinTx]

Thought this would be a lot simpler than it was.  Straight forward enough to make, but pretty dang fidgety to get it all correct.  This is just a prototype, fits a Buck 110 that I was given by a customer that was happy with my work.  Think I'll send it his way as a thank you, and for him to field test!

Thanks.  Getting cement where I needed it, and not where I didn't want it, keeping wrinkles out, making sure the knife would come out when I wanted it to and not any other time, getting the stitch line right, making sure the belt loop was as wide as possible without interfering with the stitch line, etc etc.  Probably more of my incessant need to get it all correct more than anything else.

appreciate it.  And yes, overanalyzed for 4 days while I made it.  Might be able to make the next one a bit faster.

Very nice! I've made a few like this and use the same type belt loop.
