First attempt at a knife sheath

[Bazzworx]

Hi guys, had a go at making a sheath this week for my mora. I'm really impressed with how well it came out as the only leather work I've done until now was making a simple axe sheath at the Cornwall RV with Leon-1 as my tutor. The sheath was made with some very simple tools which aren't designed for leather work, I used a kitchen fork to mark the holes and a nail as an awl. There are areas which could be a lot better and I've learned a lot from this one. After completing the knife sheath I thought I'd have a go at making a sheath for my sharpening stone which although not perfect still came out quite well.






Cheers

Nice job. It's very satisfying to make your own kit.

Good job. Definitely 'Fit for purpose' ( which a lot of the fancy bought kit isn't) ..
