If it functions near as well as it looks. I would certainly see folks buying them.

Might be the sort of thing you could try on Etsy. 

Thanks Bull and yep it will function just fine!

Right after posting this, I thought that a two-snap configuration may work slightly better if the snaps were offset 15 - 30 degrees, so that the top snap opens first, then the bottom snap. That might be easier than trying to un-snap both at the same time.

Interesting thought

Looks great! How did you do the "roll" over detail at the top? I'm new at the sheath thing.

Thanks.

 

That's deer skin.  Not my idea I learned it from Paul Longs sheath making videos.  Basically you put good side to good side and sew one line across near the top.  Then put contact cement on both bad sides and roll it over the top and glue.  Then cut off the excess deer hide and skive the edges so the deer skin doesn't show.  Then you add the back and stitch the sheath together.  When you roll it you hide that single stitch line too.  Makes a nice look and holds the blade some too.

Thanks, I will have to try that.
