This weekend, I attended the Yorkshire meet at Stead Hall woods in Burley in Wharfedale. As part of the weekend, Blacksheep offered to do a basic knife sheath tutorial, of which I took part; except I had run out of time and need to go home. So Rich kindly ran through things with me first and sent me on my way, with the promise to post pictures. Armed with the very quickly diminishing knowledge I finished the project this afternoon.


In true bushcraft style I made the awl first, then after sewing the belt loop thought 'blow this for a game of soldiers' and got the dremel copy out and drilled the thread holes instead. Blacksheep, please note I got your PM after I finished and as such the first holes weren't glued; only remembered after stitching the first 4 holes :confused: the rest are.


The staining hasn't gone well, but I will keep adding polish bit by bit. It fits my Clas Ohlson Mora's and my Falkniven F1.

Thanks very much Blacksheep for you guidance.

I had bought some cheap liquad shoe polish but that was 20 parts water and didn't work. But what it did do was soak the leather and turns out that I had wet formed it. Checked on it this morning and the sheath was stiff and moulded to my knife, which I had left in it; good job it was a stainless blade as it was full of water droplets!

Thanks for your comments.

Its more a grey black, than the grey/black green that the photo shows. I made a dangler for it last night and I'll post a pic after I stain it tonight.
