Dave Richardson Report post Posted October 1, 2017 Sheath is 9-10 oz burgandy Latigo with welt. Cut lace rubbed neatsfoot oil finish. Had some problems cutting the lace and its a little square and rolled when lacing. ARRRRGGGGGGG...... Thanks for looking and comments always welcomed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JD62 Report post Posted October 2, 2017 Cool, you have a nice design ! I think if you just pull the lace out a few holes you could get enough slack to twist or untwist those few that are a problem. Then all you have to do is tighten and relace a couple holes. No need to rebuild. Maybe? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

x101airborne Report post Posted October 2, 2017 I like raw (imperfect) additions to some items. Your sheath for example, I would leave alone. Part of the allure for me anyways is having something I made and I like the home made looking items. I really don't want my stuff to look like I went to Dooney and Burke or whatever and just bought them. I think you did well. BTW... if that is a knife you forged, you are certainly better with fire and hammer than I am! Good job all around! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
malabar Report post Posted October 4, 2017 Dave, the safety strap would work better if it were up against the guard. Two reasons: -- it prevents the knife from rising out of its sheath -- you can snap the strap off in one motion when you grip the knife tk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got a deal on three of them and thought it would be a good way to sell some leather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
