stormdevil Report post Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) Another knife sheath. It was supposed to be right handed and I convinced myself when I cut the first piece I'd got it wrong, so I recut and happily made the sheath. It was only when I was showing a friend that I realised that it was wrong handed, so back to making a 2nd one - this one correctly right handed! Just shows you should check and recheck what you are doing. Edited July 16, 2019 by stormdevil Typo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zuludog Report post Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) Huh! I know the feeling! I did that on my second or third sheath; now I check and check again There's not much you can do except find someone who wants that sheath. You could try mentioning it on www.edgematters.uk , but it's a subscription only forum. However, many of it's members are mostly interested in making the knives, so there are often requests for someone to make a sheath, and by the looks of it, your standard of work would be very acceptable Edited July 16, 2019 by zuludog Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dougfergy Report post Posted July 16, 2019 Or, it could give the knife owner an option to wear it on either side. What a bonus! On my current project that I'm building for my resurrected Golden Spike I was "winging it" on my first stacked flat design instead of a wrapped which I've done a few of in the past. Down to my last bit of leather so I was being really anal about double checking everything before I cut and as I was stacking all the cut pieces to just see how everything was going to fit, I realized I cut two backs and no front. I was using a pattern I had made and just drew the outline of the front with the pattern turned backwards. Its how I generally learn stuff, the hard way. Yours look great by the way. Nice job!

Did you recheck the retention strap on the sheath on the right? To me it looks like it's on the wrong side of the sheath and will not hold the knife in.

Doesn't really matter the person is right handed and gets the right handed one and the other as a bonus. It won't fit any other knife since the knife is hand made.

Also the one on the right (the left handed one( has the retention strap the wrong way since I was thinking right handed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've done the same thing except I realized the mistake before dying the piece and just threw it away and started over. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
