First knife sheath ever

[2trapper]

Here's my first knife sheath. It's not perfect, there are some mistakes, but I experienced different techniques on this old piece of leather like double stitching, wet moulding, finishing with different products, And now the result

Thank you very much Hamish, without your advice I'll never start this adventure
Thanks also to all other forum fellows for your appreciation.
The knife is a gift from a friend who is a knifemaker so I'm quite happy to complete the job with a good sheath.
There are some issues regarding the sheath. the first was due to the tape layers around the knife during the wet moulding. They enlarged the total volume of the knife so, once removed, the blade doesn't thightly fit into the sheath. the second issue is regarding the cardboard used to protect the clamps. it was ondulated so some stripes appear on the leather surface. the third is the direct use of the clamps: with a wooden liner probably the compression would be more omogeneous

Mate, if you are looking at a perfectly good knife sheath with such a critical eye. you will be a master in a very short space of time
