Does a sheath need a safety lining?

[Willie0]

Thanks for all the nice comments.  I made the black sheath based on kbars for an ex Ranger who doesn't expect to be knife fighting at all, but does  have an idea about how he would attach it to his gear in some specialized way.    The sheath it came with was horrible, and he cut himself 3 times getting the thing out once.  The bowie was for another ex military guy who is a knife fighting expert and I did things just the way he wanted.

Willie,

Very nice design, lovely workmanship. A+ in my book.

Minor criticism:  The retention strap is in the wrong spot.  It needs to be down at the base of the hilt.  The bowie sheath is perfect.  When they are up high, the knife can ride up and expose the blade.  Ideally, you want to be able to grasp the hilt of the knife, and pop the strap loose without changing your grip.

Again, lovely work.
