Round Knife Sheath

[mb5]

I finally got around to making a sheath for my round knife. The thumb break moves a leather block out of the way allowing the sheath to swing off the blade. I think it turned out surprisingly well considering how out of practice I am.

Always wonder whats up when you see 40 looks and no replys kind of scary ! Well here I am ,first thanks for sharing your work with us . This looks like it will work for awhile not sure the knife wont cut your stitches as it swings out only time will tell on that . Somethings made like this last forever and get more charcter every day . I would use it till its worn out and make another . Best wishes for many productive hours at the bench . Bill

Thanks Bill! Cutting the stitches was a real concern, so I have a thin welt to try to stop that.

Very nice workmaship.

Like the design! You'll have to update us if the stiching gets cut Thanks for sharing!

Bill ~ haven't you figured it out yet?... everyone seems to wait until you post to a thread before they do, I think it has become some sort of tradition

That looks good. I made a couple of them for myself recently, in fact, I guess these two sheaths could be the first real leather working project that I have done in several years. I only recently started setting up a leather working area in my woodworking shop.

Well it appears you have the bases covered . The welt covers my concerns . This should give you lots of great service. Always did have great respect for anyone using a round knife LOL . Seasons greatings and warm regards . Bill

Great idea with the thumb break. I have the same knife...now onto my cutting board.

I like the design a lot. I was looking some time back on what type of sheathes people used on round knives and I didn't have much luck. so here is the design i came up with, It's a clam shell design done in horsehide and rattlesnake.
