I like that sheath quite a bit. I have one of those type knives and I owe it a sheath. I am intimidated by skiving pretty badly and have gotten some pretty good skiving in with this, its just a matter of trying on a ton of scrap. Mine sharpened up to light saber really easily too and has held its edge with nothing but stropping.

*cough*sew the sheath*end cough* :P

Heh.  I actually have a sheath I made for a knife that I had intended to sew, and ended up not sewing, and it has been just fine for over a year now.  I suspect this one will as well, especially since there really isn't a lot of room on the edge to sew without getting into the stamping.  Sheath came out really nice!  If it does ever separate, just make another with the room for stitching!

I have a key fob attachment piece I made that is just glued and it has been 2 years and is showing no signs of stopping. I meant sew it for the aesthetics and practice.

Thanks YinTx

The knife just sits on the messy desk that is my leather working area.So not a lot of wear and tear on the sheath so it should last. It was more a learning project than a specific sheath project. I had the tooled leather piece for a bullet loading strip but on the spur of the moment I chopped it up and made the sheath.so I was happy just to get my head around the process of cutting out a welt,sizing it to the blade and gluing it together.I surprised my self with the fact it works well and I am looking forward to making some stitched sheaths for a couple of Bowie knife blanks I have laying around(once I make them some handles lol)
