grammyd Report post Posted September 28, 2010 I have been asked to make a knife sheath to hold two fishing knives. Any ideas on how to construct this? I got a few ideas but don't want to waste the leather so I am looking for help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete Report post Posted September 28, 2010 I have been asked to make a knife sheath to hold two fishing knives. Any ideas on how to construct this? I got a few ideas but don't want to waste the leather so I am looking for help. Make some patterns on paper! They don't have to be exact but you can come real close. The important thing is (I take it that there is no 2 fish knife sheath already) that you can get as creative as you want. Paper doesn't cost anything - want to bounce some ideas off some of the "artists" here? SHow the knives and place them in the picture on a table in a few different but practical positions. I think that there are a few thousand folks that watch this forum that might give you a few good ideas! BE CREATIVE!!! Have fun with this. As a friend told me years ago when I was trying to build my first hot rod and was puzzled with the wiring harness "are you smarter than plastic?" uh....yea! Let us know how it's going. pete Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Catchndreams Report post Posted September 29, 2010 I have made a few. When I find the pics on my laptop I will post them. This one is of a horizontal knife sheath, fire starter and sharpender. All wet and formed. The sheath can be carried by itself. Might give you some Ideas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
