Members Forester Posted January 19, 2018 Members Report Posted January 19, 2018 Ka Bar knife sheath, made from 8-9oz veg tan leather, made to fit on molle system or on normal military style belt also holes for leg ties. Quote
garypl Posted January 19, 2018 Report Posted January 19, 2018 Hey Forester - nice looking sheath! Any concern that the knife can slip out a ways because the keeper is at the top of the hilt instead of near the blade guard? Gary Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4
Members Forester Posted January 19, 2018 Author Members Report Posted January 19, 2018 No won't come out, the retaining strap is fairly tight at the thinner part at the top and the handle gets wider as it goes down, so knife is safe. Regards Forester Quote
bikermutt07 Posted January 19, 2018 Report Posted January 19, 2018 Great looking sheath. 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. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

Regards Forester I couldn't tell how much taper there was in the handle - again, nice looking sheath! Gary Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4
Members Eddie Q Posted January 19, 2018 Members Report Posted January 19, 2018 Very nice, I’ve been thinking of making something similar for a M16 bayonette my Daddy gave me. Quote
Members dikman Posted January 21, 2018 Members Report Posted January 21, 2018 Neat. The flared leather, to line up with the guard, is an interesting style. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500. Chinese shoe patcher; Singer 201K (old hand crank)
Members Dwight Posted January 21, 2018 Members Report Posted January 21, 2018 I've always liked K-bar knives, . . . they are a stand-out piece of equipment. Your sheath adds to that stand-out, . . . great job. May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher.

Members dikman Posted January 21, 2018 Members Report Posted January 21, 2018 I agree Dwight, I've always felt that they are a great general-purpose knife - not too big or heavy and a nice blade shape. I've always wanted to own one (not that I have any use for it) but here in my State they are banned! And all because the manufacturer added the appellation "fighting knife"!!! Not even God can save us from petty bureaucrats and politicians, I'm afraid. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500.
