leather work challenge !

[Robbi]

Not sure if this is the right place to post this so Mods, please move if required.

I always carry 2 knives when i'm out and about, either in the woods or fishing, a standard woody clone and a smaller Bird and Trout, i'm getting fed up with two sheaths though.

So here's the challenge, can one of the superb leather artists on here make me a "slim", "elegant" piggyback sheath system so that i can carry the two knives a bit like the picture below ? When i say "slim" i mean not bulky or ungainly but of reasonably thick leather as it will get bashed about a bit. You'll notice in the photo, i have the B & T at an angle, this is so you don't get a double thickness handle, if you see what i mean, and with the B & T handle pointing slightly backwards, easyier to draw without getting tangled up with the woody clone.

If anyones up for it, i'll happily send them the knives in question for "fitting"

Seeing as you're in NI, it would be worth giving Rapidboy a nudge, he's over there too and does a fine bit of leatherwork.

robbi, ive done somthing similar with a leuku and neck knife, i cut some holes into a leather sheet and used it to bind the sheaths together, difficult to exlain but it works, is removable and easy to do.

i could sort some out, bare in mind its just a experimental prototype, not very well finished, but its pretty easy to do with a bit of wetforming and stitching.

I'll second Rapidboy, AKA Laurence Duggan. He's a fine craftsman, and a top-notch gent to deal with. I've had two sheaths from him, and plenty of free advice as well.
