A special sheath

[Rossr]

This is a special sheath. My oldest son wanted to make a knife.  I agreed to help and guide him and he managed a nice knife for his first try.  So it was my pleasure to make him a sheath for it. 

 

Here it is thoughts welcome

Kelly the first picture shows it by the sheath.  Should be 4 total pics.  

 

Thank you!

Sorry I skipped right to second pict.  He did a great job, not just for a first knife.  Great thing to get to work with our kids and teach them skill they can use for the rest of their lives, while sharing what we enjoy.  How old is your son?

He just turned 12.  Made the knife while he was 11.  Yes it is great to work with them.  Lot of benefit in learning to do things and make things.   Benefits us who are teaching them too! At least in my opinion

If your willing I am retired and the wife says very adoptable at this time, if your would be willing to teach me how to make a good looking knife like that.

Great job on both accounts. Thank you for sharing.

I really dig those sheathes you been making lately man. That lined look has me intrigued. I need to make a sheath for an ESEE Laser Strike that I'm thinking I may line...and its all your fault!!!

Blame Paul long!  It's his videos I bought and learned from.  I like the lined look. It also means I dont need to wet form them. Nothing wrong with wet forming but the fit is so nice this way. 

There are many folks who do the lined sheaths but Paul does exquisite work in my opinion and has for a long time.  I dont know him but I'm thankful for his videos and work.  

 

Thanks for the kind words.

Very nice knife and sheath.  It may just be my own preference but the only thing I would change would be to ever so slightly round the and off the point (tip) of the sheath.  I can see in the pictures where it is bending one way or the other but like I said probably just personal preference.  Your son is very lucky, I wish my own dad would have had the skills, patience, time, desire to teach me.
