Kukri Sheath

[OzaawaaMigiziNini]

Last spring I bought a Cold Steel Kukri Machete. One of my favourite warm weather cutting tools. It came with a Cordura sheath that lasted oh.. 10 minutes.

So I did some research, and pulled this lil beauty out of the woodshop last night.

Need to make a strap and a belt loop, but other than that, she's done.

Light butternut sheath, with basswood spacers sandwiched in between the two sides. Long slit on the right side allows the blade to move in and out with no problem.

I think I'll use buckskin for the belt loop and strap, just wondering how I should secure it. Any suggestions?

Maybe a wrap-around-strap with a press-stud like this:

You can atattch the leather with small brass screws.

That was my first idea... I think I'll go with it, thanks for the clear images :You_Rock_

Aloha Oetzi,

That's a nice set up you have there. What is it? And any chance of more pictures?
