Can someone help with leather please?

[freenarative]

I have a butchers knife that I found in a car boot sale. It looked sad and lonely and I decided that I would rescue him. He has been cleaned and sharpened and I am awaiting some paracord to wrap his handle; I took the old handle off. It wasn't doing the blade any justice.
Any way; Now you know BB's history I have a question. As I said before, I sharpened him and I did the job VERY well. He can cut through anything I put before him. And here is the problem. I want to give him a leather sheath. I have synthetic sinew, the needles and an awl but I have no idea what leather to use or what sort of design to use. Any ideas? Also, where can I get the leather from and should I line the sheath???
In short... PLEASE HELP!

there are various youtube how-tos and picture tutorials on this forum, british blades, or just youtube. a quick search should throw a good range up. otherwise check out leatherworker.net for them

in regards to the leather it depends on the style of sheath. i would say 3-4mm veg tan for a simple no nonsense sheath which you can then wet mould if desired. leprevo are my first port of call for leather but if you just want enough for one or two sheaths there are a few good sellers on ebay for smaller pieces
