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. I think I you are correct. My issue lies in the clam shell side and getting that proportioned correctly too. I feel it should have come higher up a little. I am a perfectionist and it always bugs me when it's off a bit. Rounding it may draw the eye away from that issue. Good thoughts. Kind words too thank you I'm not patient so it can get frustrating for me helping but it is something I'm glad I can share with my sons. 5 hours ago, wizard of tragacanth said: Another nice project, Ross, and it is just so cool that it was done in collaboration with your son! nick Thanks Nick Quote
Members MarkCdub Posted September 6, 2019 Members Report Posted September 6, 2019 Rossr, the good thing is it is just leather. You can design and make sheath 2.0 for very little cost. As far as how high tge sheeth is, I don't mind it for a 12 Y.O. it is good for retention and won't accidentally fall out. The clamshell designs that I have seen dont generally have such a sweeping point on the folded edge if at all. I like it, maybe ask your sons opinion, and if he would like any changes made to it and get him involved in the leather working process too. Quote

Hi Mark, He loves it and it's very functional. one of the great things about this forum.is we can all pick things apart and analyze to help make our next projects better. I always like the feedback I gain from folks on the boards. It is that deep on purpose I never want a knife slipping out while in use afield. I try to leave just enough to grip and pull out! Appreciate the thoughts Quote
