Full Flap Mora Sheath.

[pwb]

The bulk of the sheath is made from 3.5mm veg tanned shoulder with a little bit of thinner recycled leather for the DC3 pouch flap in an attempt to reduce the overall thickness a tad .

The D-ring for the double dangler I reused from an old Cresta bergen frame, solid brass with a plated finish.
Because of the thickness of the leather I opened my Birthday present early , a hobby pillar drill , and used it to drill the holes for sewing . I also used braided nylon thread for sewing.

The original plan was for a larger front pocket, SAK / utility pocket, But I couldn't make it work, too big , so to plan B.

I was also going to add a Firesteel loop, had it all made, but had a change of mind at the last minute. Kind of wish I'd added it now it looks like it would have fitted in quite well :11doh: .

I've left the finish more matt not using boot polish just rubbing in Renapur bees wax leather balsam. I think I prefer the duller look.

Thanks for looking .

Cheers,
Pete.

That's a real nice sheath Pete, I agree the firesteel would have gone well on it but there's always the next sheath

Really nice finish on that, I can see why you cracked open the pillar drill, 5 layers!! The fire steel loop would've fitted in nicely then you'd have everything on 1 sheath.

How did you do your sam brown holes, punch then slit??

Thanks Mesquite, Think the next one will be without pouch and with Firesteel loop.

The pillar drill made all the difference , helped that it's exactly 90 degrees too, a lot neater than a hand held drill.

Made the holes, as you say ,punch then slice. I have seen some where there's two holes one very small with the slice between but I don't have a punch small enough.

Cheers,
Pete.

How long did it take to make?

Too long , just a hobby Tank , I really have no idea how long.

First an idea then a drawing and lots of using the search button .
Make a cardboard template tweak this add that then chuck it in a box until your on holiday and get bored .
