First sheath made from my own pattern

[Brumbie]

I posted this over on another forum that I hang out on but wanted to share here too.

I picked up this knife while working in Norway a few weeks ago. I really liked the knife, but the sheath is what caught my attention. It had a tab of leather coming up the back between the sheath and belt loop. The tab fastened over a metal fitting in the hilt of the knife. Pretty cool.

I thought it would be nicer if the tab would be part of the sheath and came up the spine of the sheath. So I made this one.

This is my first try at making my own pattern for a project. I went through 3 paper patterns before settling on this one. This is the second sheath as I accidentally cut through the face of the first one ruining it.

I did a rotten job on the belt loop. It works and looks (ok,kinda)...but I would do that part way different. So no picture for you all of my belt loop. ahha
