Edvin Report post Posted September 25, 2012 I've been sketching and working a lot lately on a couple of new projects. Here is a prototype for a bushcraft style knife leather sheath for Fällkniven F1. The sheath is fully ambidextrous and customisable. Possibility for both horizontal and vertical carry. Modular design if user wants to add a fire steel or utility pouch. Buckles so the knife would be easy to add and remove from a belt or a bag. The straps can be removed and exchanged if necessary or replaced with cord or strap directly through the sheath. 2,5 mm vegetable tanned full grain leather, brass hardware, my first try with saddle soap polished edges. Fully modular design if user wants to add a fire steel or utility pouch. Any feedback greatly appreciated! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeG Report post Posted September 25, 2012 Beautiful work! Looks well thought out. The edges look great! I notice you don't have a tie down slot - do you find your customers like a tie down or don't really care for it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I notice you don't have a tie down slot - do you find your customers like a tie down or don't really care for it? Thanks for the input! I'm glad you like it. I've pondered about some kind of strap or latch but the knife sits very deep and secure in the sheath. I have another model with a closing strap, I might add that to this model as well. It might be possible to make it removable for those that do not care for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jimbob Report post Posted September 27, 2012 smoera bred roemtomtoem!!

I do enjoy making some more modern sheaths, it's a nice break from the more embellished ones with a lot of metal work. Here are some other sheath variations I've made: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edvin Report post Posted October 25, 2012 Got a couple of orders for this kind of sheaths so I've been making a few more. Hope you like it! Full grain leather (2,5 mm), waxed linen thread. The pancake sheath is treated with beeswax. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
