Leather roll for carving knives

[tombear]

Having used a bunch of army surplus tent pin bags for storing my various wood carving knives for many years I finally bit the bullet and decided to make a dedicated roll for the, I had a piece of thick upholstery leather about the right size so I used that, not really my colour but iths thick and was free!

I saddle stitched it with thick linen tent thread. It took two days on and off to do it, a half competent machinist would have taken 10 minutes! It's mainly for working out side so I may wax the shiny side.

Nice work mate, any pics of the knives perchance?

Can do one easy enough!

All the usual Scandi suspects, not used the two knives in the right yet, Only handled and sheathed the Garland Alan Wood Carver a couple of weeks back and the leeetle Brusletto Rognald, well I got that for the wife at least 17 years back as a 3rd Wedding anniversary present (leather, well the sheath is...) and recently repossessed it as it was still unused! OK truth be told I read a excellent review of it and went looking for it. But it was still unused and I swapped it for another unused knife so alls fair as far as I'm concerned. Unfortunately at the start of the week I did something to the extensor (?) tendon in my left hand so although I can just about sew carving would be a bit dodgy.

A good selection there, something for all eventualities. Is that one of the Casstrom Mora 120 style second in from the right?

Very tidy and handy bit of work there Tom

Thanks!

The second one for the left, I think thats one we goy In Estonia back in '98 on our honeymoon, Scandi knives were very cheap and for some reason then out of production Airfix kits. So guess what we hauled back!

All it says on the blade in electric pencil looks like " Jisaule " The back of the sheath has a lot stamped into it but most is illegible. the last word is definitely "FINLAND" but before that it looks like" JAKKI JARVENAAOY KAUAVA " with a fair sprinkling of double dots over the As. I keeps a good edge anyway, Theres a crack forming in the bolster but nowt that bothers me.

The decoration on the sheath looks a lot like on the woodcarvers knife here

so it's a Iisakki Järvenpää and thats Isakki on the blade,
