First Sheath and first attempt at wet forming

[Man of Tanith]

Recently i swapped some unused kit for a mora classic
lovely knife but the sheath is a bit umm soul less being from plastic
i had a bit of soft leather lurking about and with the help of decorum giving advice and pignut supplying some leather thonging i created a neck sheath
the sheath still has the plastic sheath within it to make sure it doesn't cut through the leather (i am a little paranoid about having a really sharp thing around my neck)

As an extra bonus with a few wraps of the thong around a belt i have a more than adequate dangler sheath to so two options for carrying it

First sheath but i suspect not the last
thank you for taking the time to look

i like em
only got this one cause i traded one then regretted it within a week of doing so

i liked having one when i was teaching scouts knife work as they couldn't use the its because you have a woodlore and we have a cheap as chips mora as mine looked older and used than theirs
great knife

when i first started working in care i was offered the chance to be shaved by someone else so i could empathise with the service users being shaved, i said hell no as i dont even trust myself with a razor by my face

phil you know it aint the last i still have the ulu one to finish off

Nice work Sam. gives it a sense of respectability with the plastic hidden. I am envious of your time on bushy projects. Ive not been near my kit since end of June

WORK SUCKS
