I am happy with the way it turned out, but the knife is a little harder to pull out then I would like.

I wet formed it then baked it in the oven. I did have a spacer in it, but, how can I now get the knife a bit loser in there?

Cut up a portion of a one gallon freezer bag, . . . so you can wrap it around your knife, . . . shove the knife and bag down in the sheath.

Get up tomorrow morning, . . . remove the knife, . . . unwrap the bag, . . . try the knife again.  If it is still too tight, . . . keep adding layers until you get the fit you want.

Remember to leave the knife in the sheath for several hours, . . . I like to do 8 or so, . . . it allows the leather to stretch out, . . . but not spring back.

We do this with gun holsters, knife sheaths, even billfolds and check books.

Neat trick that works every time.

May God bless,

Dwight

For what it's worth. Dwight is right, everything that I do that is wet molded, is initially wrapped as he describes for a resultant proper fit. Beware though, especially for a knife that is used as frequently as mine, an initial fit for an easy draw will, in time, loosen up ---  probably a little too much.   mike

That's a good looking sheath.  It should loosen up a little bit with use, I wouldn't make any changes unless it's so tight that you can get it out without a fight.
