bonyboy Report post Posted October 2, 2012 This is the 3rd sheath I have made that is not absolutely horrendous. Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Thank you! Seth P.s. I also made the knife for my little brother. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katsass Report post Posted October 2, 2012 From the old grump: Looks pretty damned decent to my old eyes. I can't tell just how thightly the haft is held by the sheath, but IF it happens to be looser than you like, you can tighten that area up by tapering the welt. Now, most of my sheaths are double welted and lined, but that's how I get a good bit of retention on a knife. Here's a pic or two of what I mean. You can see just where the haft seats in the sheath.

bonyboy Report post Posted October 3, 2012 Mr. grump.... Thank you! The fit is actually really tight on this one.... Mostly because the handle on the knife is so fat. But I will definitely keep your advice in mins for future projects. The sheaths you made are very nice! Someday I will make one as nice. Great job! And thank you again for you're advice!

chiefjason Report post Posted October 4, 2012 Nice. I really like that skinner. I could have put that to use Tuesday evening. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonyboy Report post Posted October 4, 2012 Godspeed, thank you this was not my first I did have some practice before this one for sure. Chiefjason, thank you! Ya my brother doesn't hunt so it probably won't get a whole lot of use unless I borrow it. But he requested it so I couldn't turn him down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
