leather sheath for mini boker bowie

[luckylee]

I was commissioned by a member to make him a sheath for his boker, he wanted this in black, and to have black stitching, he wanted a neat simple little sheath that rides high on his belt, for the knife he bought, now this was a fiddly little bugger i can tell you, but i got there in the end, he wanted a strap that came across this, but there was just not the room, so what i have done is i have made a locking in side the sheath, out of the welt, as on this particular knife it has quite a prominent finger guard and this is perfect for such a task, so when you slip the knife in it locks into place in this groove.
hope you like it

Its a lovely, understated and stylish little piece, Lee, the design and working is fabulous as always! It must get real fiddly, the smaller you go, but you work is always so amazingly neat

We are not worthy, great job as usual, I would think using the welt to hold the knife in place required some deep thought...
