leather sheath for knife and catapult

[luckylee]

i was asked by one of our great members, to make him a leather sheath for his becker, and his catapult, he really liked the sheath that i done for the becker bk2, but wanted me to incorporate the catapult uses into the sheath.
he wanted this in a nice dark brown, and to have black stitching.
this was a challenge to get just right.
hope you like it.

[Perrari]

Nice work Lee, that looks a seriously complicated thing to work out !

 

[Niels]

Awesome that! Hunting and gathering and crafting in one. And on your belt!

How long did it take you?

Would have taken me forever.

id say about 10 hours mate. with waiting for the dye to dry and that type of thing, what take quite a lot of time to be honest, is not the making for me bud, its the working out how it will all sit together, and the designing it, thats takes the time, when thats done im away, if that makes sense.

thats awsome really like that idea. great work as always mate

 

[ibeef]

Exceeded all my expectations and then some. Beautiful craftsmanship, so excited to take it into the bush. Thank you again

 

[Dreadhead]

that's a beast Lee, can imagine the hours of care put into that nice one

 

[Dannytsg]

Nice work as always

 

[luckylee]

Thanks for the kind words guys they mean a lot.

very nice sheath!
if I could find a design like that for my BRKT gunny, I would buy it tomorrow.

Nice work as always Lee,

 

[Biker]

Whoa! That's different, clever design too. Nice one Lee, very nice indeed.

But...

The 73rd stitch down in the welt shown in the second picture is askew. So I can only give you a "very nice indeed" instead of a "perfect" score. Nice try mate, don't give up your day job.

Very nice! With as much as is going on there, it doesn't look cumbersome at all.

You bad person, I nearly yes nearly looked at the stitching then, but I no there is not one out as it would not have left the shop lol.

I got Hamish just the other week with a similar remark, what surprises me is that you almost fell for it too. Sorry for the causing alarm, it was meant to be tongue in cheek. You are both far too good at your trades to allow glaring errors out of your workshops. It really is a lovely piece of work. If it were mine it would be in a frame on the wall never to be used in anger ... Hmmm that's a point - can a sheath on its own become a drawer queen?
