Green Sheaf

[Klenchblaize]

Recently bought this fine little drop point from a site member but thought, as did the seller, it might benefit from a better-proportioned sheath.

Well, you might not like the colour but here is my attempt to make one with a funky retaining peg. Highly unlikely the knife would ever jump free as it is a really nice fit now I’ve wet-formed it but it makes for something different. And what’s wrong with ‘experimentation’ anyway?

All I need now is to make a matching “green” belt and I’ll be that much closer to a full set. That is after I’ve made the ammo pouch, flashlight holder, binocular strap, key case ………..

Cheers!

what is the thing on the last photo on the left?

Thats really very good.
I especially like the way the stitch lines for the belt loop follow the contours of the rest of the sheath - a very nice touch.

A rifle bolt with custom-fit belt pouch.

Very nice and a good design. If you'll excuse me a moment of pedantry - it's "sheath".

 

[Klenchblaize]

No problem. Must be the fumes from the green dye!

ace! - one slight critasism, I assume you couldn't get a BRIGHT green?


what is the cord? - did you make it yourself? (I like the plattedness of it)

A rifle bolt with custom-fit belt pouch.

I wonder why you need a pouch for that. I don't know much about rifle use, but why would you want to carry a spare bolt in the field? nice pouch though. Another colour for a change

1. Point taken but the nearest match to this:

2. Available from any good leather supplier in a variety of diameters and colours. This was plain vegetable tan to start with.

It is not for a spare bolt, it is for a removed bolt thus making the rifle unusable and therefore providing safety and security A stalking club I am currently waiting to join will eject you from the club if you take a Rifle with the bolt fitted into the hunting lodge and given the fact that there is a two year waiting list to get in it is a bad mistake to make
