Rayban Report post Posted February 22, 2009 I'm not sure I know what a "tube sheath" is, I've never heard one called that. Anything like a pouch sheath? Got a picture of one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TwinOaks Report post Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) Now that the definition has been clarified.... The downside to making a sheath like the one in the link, is that a welt needs to be sewn in to protect the threads from the blade. Traditional pouch/tube sheaths that hold almost all the knife are sewn up the back, keeping the stitching away from the blade. It's little more than a triangle-ish piece of leather that's folded and stitched, then wet formed to put the seam on the back side. Check out ragweedforge, for more history and info on the sheaths, including the recommended hot wax treatment.

For what it's worth - both styles have been made for centuries (despite some folks idea of "common" knowledge - not pointing fingers...) - side seam pouches go back to at least the early Saxon period, often with a metal cap along the blade edge side........historic American patterns often used rivets along the edge rather than sewing and a welt......
