garypl Posted November 2, 2017 Report Posted November 2, 2017 Very nice work on all of your projects! On the knife sheath, what is the purpose of all the extra snaps, loops etc, surrounding what looks to be a very nicely done sheath! The edge of that thick sheath looks great, but you can’t see much of it! Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4
Members Bonk Posted November 2, 2017 Author Members Report Posted November 2, 2017 About the knife sheath, it can be carried horizontally on your belt on the back. The other options you see: space for a fire steel, when opening with the snap button it flips open automaticly because of the elastic, it can also be carried next to your leg with a dangler and using the leather cord around your leg to keep it steady, ... The edge is really smooth, except my pciture doesn't show that.. I'm a leather worker, not a really good photographer Thanks for the comment btw Maybe you can have a better look at the edge on this pic: Quote Leathercraft Zappas Facebook Leersnijder Zappas “A mind is like a parachute.

garypl Posted November 2, 2017 Report Posted November 2, 2017 Thanks Bonk - kind of like a “Swiss Army” sheath! Nice job! Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4
Members battlemunky Posted November 2, 2017 Members Report Posted November 2, 2017 Looks great! Quote
Members Tpc Posted November 2, 2017 Members Report Posted November 2, 2017 All really great work. I particularly like the guitar strap and biker tool roll, I will have to try making those myself, though i'm nowhere near your level . T Quote
Members OldLog Posted November 3, 2017 Members Report Posted November 3, 2017 Really nice work. I love that tri fold. Quote
Members d2jlking Posted December 17, 2017 Members Report Posted December 17, 2017 Knife sheath AND the biker tool bag is as good as it gets. Very nice.!!! Quote
bikermutt07 Posted December 17, 2017 Report Posted December 17, 2017 All great looking stuff, Bonk. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

Members Instinctive Posted December 22, 2017 Members Report Posted December 22, 2017 Bonk, This is a timely find on this forum. I need to make a sheath almost exactly like that for a very similar knife. Are you able to share how you have the loop harness secured to the sheath? Can you show a picture of the back side of the setup? Like that wallet a lot too. Quote Eric Fisher Fisher Custom Leather "A Retirement Project" https://fishercustomleather.wordpress.com/
