1st prototype sheath :)

[Robbi]

Made this as a first try / prototype..... needs a lot of detail work but i like the general idea

 

[HillBill]

Not bad at all Robbi.

What happened with the bit thats not taken dye? Bit of glue?

Bit of advice mate, don't run the stitching all the way to the top, stop it a few mm before

 

[crosslandkelly]

Good work Robbi.

 

[Robbi]

cheers Mark, yep, it was glue

still, as a 1st prototype, it's given me ideas

 

[HillBill]

Second one is always much better than the first

Mistakes make the best teachers

 

[Robbi]

i know mate but it took bloody ages to make !

 

[HillBill]

You'll get faster

 

[brancho]

How secure is it?

 

[Wook]

Is that a double bladed boot knife, or am I imagining things?

 

[HillBill]

I think it's one of those rodgers of Sheffield daggers. Probably have a 4mm blade, and the sheath a 3 or 3.5mm welt so it'll get a good friction fit.

I stand to be corrected by Robbi though

 

[Wook]

Of course nowadays it would be totally illegal, but I've often thought a small, sharp dagger kept in the boot would be an incredibly effective weapon of last resort.

Certainly daggers of one sort or another, worn in the boot, are found in exactly that role in cultures throughout the world.

Anyway I'm derailing your thread so I'll shut up.

Spot on HB it's a very secure fit

any chance you could either post here of pm me a shot of the knife as i believe it is the exact same knife as one of my mums knives
my mums just has stamped on the blade MADE IN SHEFFIELD ENGLAND on one side and on the other WILLIAM RODGERS ICUTMYWAY i think it said icutmyway but am not quite sure as it has a slight tarnish/stain there. could you tell me if your blade has any thing stamped into it and if so what

 

[Dreadhead]

[sasquatch]

Nice, I had a very similar knife as a lad that was my grandad's...
