Hey Folks,

I had a customer request that I make them a custom-fitted basketweave sheathe... there was just one problem..

See, this Hunting Knife was sentimental to them and they were unable to risk it getting lost or damaged in the mail, and they lived much too far to exchange in person so there was only one thing I could do.

 

I had them take photos and map out measurements, and then I constructed a similar shape to the blade for reference and began working. In the end, the knife fit perfect and the thick sheathe came out beautiful. 
 

Looking back, I think I would've shortened the snap closure, but that's pretty tricky to get right when you don't physically have the knife in your possession. Let me know what you think!

Thank you.

 

I always find the curves in particular to be the most difficult to work, whether it's sanding, burnishing, or tooling.
