Knife to sheath.jpg

I think I could make a sheath that would stop at the wood . . . angled so it always stops in the same position . . . and I would make the welt in leather exactly the thickness of the blade . . . and the welt would be exactly the shape of the blade from the tip on top all the way down..

I would also make the welt at the bottom far enough up into the sheath that I could double sew that whole sheath.

But that's just how I'd do it . . . probably at least 99 other ways.

May God bless,

#98 i would use a tightly formed sheath  with maybe a chape on the end of the sheath or just a copper rivet or two to prevent any push through at the welt. 

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

On another forum the other day I saw an odd knife where the owner was wanting a sheath made. This knife was heavily sharpened on both sides at the tip end and had no stopper or shape to the handle end which made me recommend a plastic end stop inside the sheath. I suggested I could print one out in pla+ and I know this will hold glue pretty well but I would do it so that the plastic would be fully inside the stitch lines of the leather. I would also think to bring the shape around enough to make the blade make the contact further up than the tip. The shape of this knife would easily allow little pressure to push right through the leather welt bottom I think.

I would use Brian's suggestion, but with Nylon rather than PVC as a gentler material than PLA on the blade

Another way would be to make a tip cap with that ballistic material Kydex
