Rolandranch Report post Posted August 13, 2017 Hey, guys! A friend of mine made a knife and asked me to make a sheath for it. The knife itself isn't that great mainly because it wasn't tempered but I probably couldn't do any better with a chunk of metal. I built the sheath for utility, not so much for looks because I know this guy is gonna use it and beat it up a lot. As non-fancy as it is, it will probably outlast the knife. Let me know what you think! Thanks for looking! -Ryan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tried to not "outshine" the knife but the guys at Tandy said I failed in that respect. lol! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alpha2 Report post Posted August 13, 2017 Reminds me of the sheaths I've been doing lately. Kind of like a bum in a tuxedo. But like you said, it's what they wanted! I like the double stitching, that alone outshone the knife... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could have burnished and polished the edges but the time and effort would not have been worth it because it was supposed to be "on the rugged side" so I only put black Edge Kote on it. 8 hours ago, alpha2 said: Reminds me of the sheaths I've been doing lately.
