Yo!
I was in need of a decent sheath or case of some kind to protect my razor as the box and plastic slip were both crap!![Roll Eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I had a dig around after stropping my razor from a shave yesterday while teaching someone how to use one properly. I wanted to add a better rotating clip on my multi strop and while in my box of bits I found my rolls of scrap leather..
I got thinking and pulled out my kit, a pen and some paper to sketch a quick sheath slip design.
The pictures show the rest, from cut out sketch, pegging.. awl hole making, sewn together and sat snugly inside!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

I stitched both ways as I cut alot of sinew and figured it'll hold tighter and better that way. Obviously I'm no master leather worker, but merely a maker of things I need.![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I cleaned up the edges with a utility knife and I'm considering making a vinegaroon solution tomorrow and possbiley dyeing it that ebony grey colour.
Anyway, that was it. Took an hour or so, I don't do this stuff often so it took longer as I am a sloppy planner lol.
Thanks for looking!
(The razor is a Gold dollar 66, professionally honed! The Gold dollar razors are the equivalent of Mora knives, totally capable but cheap as chips.)
