Mora companion leather sheath

[k9trev]

Well here goes,
This was inspired by black sheep of this parish,he very generously sent me a pattern to follow .so I set off with the 6mm veg tan leather cut out the template and started work .
This is how she turned out it's made totally by hand I've tooled and tattooed the border totally by hand I hope you all like it .
I'm no leathersmith but I am happy with the results.

As usual all comments good bad welcome . Go easy it's my first proper attempt at a sheath let alone a tattooed one .

Now that is something to be proud of Trev

you surely have a skill there mate, i wish you every success with whatever future venture you embark on, well done.

 

[Baelfore]

that is a lovely sheath mate. much better thn my first attempt! :You_Rock_

That's a stonker Trev, really well done, and Black Sheep's no slouch either (looking over at his freshly polished Black Sheep pouch). Did you tattoo it once it was formed or while it was a flat piece of leather?

 

[Badger74]

sent by weird means

 

[k9trev]

Goatboy it was tattooed flat bud then assembled etc I was going to do not work panels but decided to keep it simple .

Thank you so much rob I thought with the mora all modded and looking nice it would look better in a new coat

Nice work... But wheres the welt.....? probably the most essential part on a sheath.

Pedant alert. ... A smith is someone who works with metal.... no such thing as a leathersmith.

There is a 2.5mm welt mate like I said mark I'm no leathersmith as they don't exist .
I think if you look at the pic showing the welt side of the sheath the welt is visible as it was white leather as this was all I had mate .

 

[HillBill]

There is? Fair dooz mate. Really can't see it on the pics.

Have a quick look at the pic where the blade tip of the sheath is mark and you can clearly see three layer of leather .

Definitely sturdy fella it will do me a few years to come I'm going to make another to sell .
Maybe with some Celtic or Norse knot work on the front

I see the welt, its been burnished over by the thicker leather. Looks good trev

 

[JAG009]

Oh! Trev where do I start with this one ,the 21st stitch down from the top on the belt loop side is of by at least 000,2mm ,the tattoo scrolling on the other side is just way wigglier than on the belt loop side ,and the dying on that side is off by at least a 10th of a shade ,tut tut tut you must do better But at least it covers up that file work up that's off by 00000000000.1mm

Good stuff Trev

Hi Trev, i like that! Mind you the humble Mora is a great knife and for what it costs, it comes with a sheath(i use the term loosely) that we all want to throw away immediately! But for some of us, to get our heads around the fact that a leather sheath, is going to cost more than the knife we have purchased is difficult, but a decision you will never regret.

I have a few sheaths made by various members of this parish, namely Dougster, it somehow turns your ordinary Mora into a thing of beauty, anyway i am rambling again!

Great work Trev, you make me want another tattoo! A file worked Mora, a sexy new sheath for Christmas, lots of leather patches! You must stop my good man!

Keep up the good work mate, and massive congratulations on the newest Tat!

Wink, you know what i mean.

Ivan, and his i want one of those, kids!!
