Members Jim Posted June 3, 2009 Members Report Posted June 3, 2009 The safety aspect of sheath building probably doesn't occur to most people, outside of the obvious stopping the blade from cutting things it shouldn't. What do you feel are the important things to consider when building a sheath? Ray WELTS!!!!!! Put Welts in the Seam . . . . . ALWAYS!!!!!!! Make the sheath tight enough to hold the blade secure . . . . ALWAYS!!!!! If they need more help . . . . read my book! Quote Never forget where you are, so you will always remember where you've been.
Members AussieLee Posted June 18, 2009 Members Report Posted June 18, 2009 I might not know anything about sheath building or leather work, but I feel rather comfortable with my big 'I can stab you pretty badly' knife secured to my hip or thigh. I know I wouldn't feel comfortable with a knife attached anywhere near my chest, nor near an area which it could easily penetrate and cause a bleed out. Quote
JohnBarton Posted July 19, 2009 Report Posted July 19, 2009 Or how about the story of the bar owner who was charged with and convicted of manslaughter when he electrified the window and a thief tried to break in and got stuck and suffered a heart attack from the electrical shock.
