another pair of sheaths

[rancid badger]

I've made another pair of sheaths, this time specifically to fit clippers, although they will take the training knife, if a bit tight to get in and out.
I've done them in a dark brown, once again; hand sewn with artificial sinew and complete with a detachable dangler loop, fastened with all brass, press studs.
this is the plain one ( knife is NOT included)

The decorated one has a round, solid brass ring dangler fixed to the belt loop, while the plain one has a solid brass, "d" ring which is free to move on the belt loop.
Both belt loops are attached with a single, double sided, brass rivet.

The carving is meant to represent a stylised birds wing.
I haven't wet formed these ones, no real reason other than trying out a slightly different technique.
just to confirm:
the knife is NOT included
I'm asking £30 inc p+p for the plain one please SOLD PENDING PAYMENT
And £35 inc p+p for the bird wing one
cheques or postal orders please
pm secures
any questions; just ask

thanks very much for looking

I wouldn't take this personally. They are lovely.

Nothing is shifting at the moment, must be the price of fuel or something.

I must admit, I'm surprised,;
no offers?, no one even made any comments, good, bad or indifferent. I welcome any feedback at all.
Mind you, I love the making, regardless, so as long as I'm able to make enough to pay it's way, I stay out of trouble with Mrs.Badger
Anyway, never mind
Cheers

By all accounts John that was a custom for another type of knife.

These are nice.

They are very nice sheaths you have made there RB. I think one of your problems selling is that alot of guys 'n' girls are making their own nowadays. Take me for instance, since making my first ones I now realise I can do it and although mine aren't as good and nice as yours I would rather try one myself than buy someone elses.
But like John & Dougster said its no prolem with your sheaths because like I said they are a lovely bit of kit. Don't take it to heart mate!

 

[Ratbag]

Also, it's mid-month. I don't know about you, but I can't afford to buy anything until payday, then I go a bit nuts for a week, then nothing until payday at the end of the month, then a bit nuts, and......you get the idea

I think they look great, by the way, a bit different to the normal western-style sheaths

Oh I'm not upset Greg I actually wondered if perhaps it might be something to do with all the furore about knife crime at the moment but then again, I think everyone is having to think twice about where they spend their disposable income these days.

Also, I think you're probably correct, that more folk are having a go for themselves, Now I really do like that It may seem a bit daft for me to want to inspire or encourage others to make things that I might have sold them otherwise but I really, honestly, do my stuff as a hobby. It's brilliant that I can sell some of my stuff because it allows me to try different ideas and materials etc, where before, I only ever used what I had to hand.

Thanks for the kind comments once again
all the best
R.B.

I'd have had one if I hadn't got one off Dougster a couple of months ago. I do like the bird wing effect. very nice.

Lovely sheaths RB, how easy is it to make a left hander for a Helle S80 ? and the cost. Just pricing up at the mo as i got to spend some cash on decorating the downstairs loo.

This might be a silly question but would either be suitable for a Fallkniven F1 if I upgraded from my clipper at a later date?

ATB, Jon.
