made a sheath/pouch for a knife today

[1234]

hi all
just wanted to share a pouch i made today. its made from a shoulder strap of a single strap bag, you know the ones, companies seem to give out with everything

i wanted to make a pouch so i can carry it without it being knife like if that makes sense, its based it on a multitool pouch like this

i unpicked the strap which left me with a length of nylon material and webbing

which i cut into this, i run the edge of the material next to a flame to stop it from fraying, melting it, like you would with paracord

close up of the the nylon material

then i cut the webbing for the edging and flattened a piece for a belt loop

next i moved over to the sewing machine and ended up with this

it has a couple of faults, like the bottom left webbing isn't square, but im quite happy with it
this pouch was for a knife i made a white ago , its made from a file and has a double cord wrap, its my utility knife

thanks for looking

Looks well made dude but whats to stop the blade or point cutting through the material and ending up cutting you :yikes:

its got a doubled bit of material stitched into the bottom, thats why the bottom left hand corner is a bit dodgy, 4 layers of material and webbing
the point of the blade isn't to pointy so i should be ok *gulp*

Looks good, just don't fall on it! Last thing you want is a knife stuck in your thigh!
