form-fitting sheath

[AndrewWR]

I posted the blade in the off-topic section last week but here's the sheath.

The form fitting, achieved simply by dunking the sewn sheath in water and working over thei inserted blade with a burnishing stick, isn't just decorative. The moulding into the fuller is acting as blade retention too. This only works because the tactical letter opener in only 32 grams.

The lack of belt loops is because this particular sheath is sized to fit in the pen pocket of my favourite blazer. The whole thing isn't heavy enough to sag or bulky enough to show.  The reality is, I'm not gonna carry this anywhere. It was an exercise in 'can I make one of those?' but it'd be illegal anwhere outside my house and, while not super sharp, it is sharp enough to shave a couple of years off my life if I was dumb enough to carry it.

It was a fun build though and John Wick says it's better than a pencil ;-)

Definitely a food for thought kind of thing. Great concept.

That's really good work. You were most successful with this "can I make one of those?" project.
