Knife Sheath Pattern

[gtrscarz]

I'm rather new to leather and looking for a straight forward knife sheath pattern to make as a gift for my Dad. Anyone have a pattern they'd like to share?

any and all info is greatly appreciated.

thanks

Mike, . . .

This is just a basic sheath. Use 4/5 oz vegetable tanned leather, . . . cut it out kind of in the proportions you see in the drawing: knife vs leather.

The top tang folds over at dotted arrow line, . . . rivets below the two slots and forms a belt loop.

The piece with two yellow dots is the keeper, with a snap, holds the knife in place.

The long kinda "J" curved piece goes along the sharp edge of the knife, . . . it's sewn in between the back and the front, . . . keeps you from cutting the sewing threads every time you pull out the kife.

Cut it out, . . . fold over and rivet the belt loop, . . . fold over and sew the edge, . . . glue all parts together before you sew them, . . . I use weldwood contact cement.

Take your time, . . . knife sheaths are fun to make.

May God bless,

Dwight

You too, . . . have fun with the sheath.

Do you have a machine, . . . awl, . . . plus the stuff to do this?

May God bless,

You might want to make something to hold a multi-tool or any specialized tool you may want to keep handy at all times. If you’re a widget lover and can’t find a case for your widget, just substitute widget wherever it says knife.
