Christmas sheath Mod

[Pignut]

I treated myself to a new Knife for Christmas (Bought it from a member here!)

But......me being me decided the sheath was not all It should be (not in quality or general design) It did not tick all my boxes

So knocked this up instead! (you may see several influences from other peoples designs! you know who you are)

here it is all tooled up!

Comments/Questions welcome as always as they are my best teacher!

Thanks and merryChristmas and Happy new year

May I say, that is the best piece of equipment I've seen in a long time. You've outdone yourself man :You_Rock_

Very nice mate. I remember when I decided to get a pouch for my DC4 on the new sheath for my knife I was in two minds about it. I've found after living with it its a great place to keep your stone

Nice work

Red,

Post #8 here was a BIG influence on my sheath (could not find the first thread) :You_Rock_ mine is a DC3 stone but I love the thing! well worth the space by my side!

Just ideas I had seen that I liked and combined - same as you have mate - I claim no credit in that. Difference is you made yours and I had the talented Tiffers make mine .

One of the things I really like with your work is trying something new the whole time. I do like to see something different. A lot of the things I try aren't necessarily "better" but I learn so much via experimentation you know? Now the new little item I am co-designing with Singteck may just be something interesting - I'll value your thoughts in a few weeks when its done

Anywhoo - lovely sheath mate - I really must get to trying someleatherwork for myself one day (wonder if I can chatter Singtecks ear off into giving me lessons?)

I always thought that the sheath was quite good until I saw your modification. What a cracking piece of work. Well Done and thanks for the pictures.

Well been tinkering again!

Decided to add a removable dangler section to this sheath

first added a metal squared off loop of steel wire and made a basic loop of leather with press studs for removal if needed

Here it is with the loop fastened on

And the whole lot dangeling!!

I will add a better metal loop made of brass to match the pins in the knife when I get my hands on a bit of thin bar!

I like that sheath you made quite a lot.

Love the dangler attachment mate - bet that will make it a whole lot more comfortable if you have a rucksack on!
