I know there have been lodes of threads on this subject so I won't ask any of the basic questions.
I'm planning to make a sheath for this old knife, it's original sheath having been lost somewhere along the way, after chrisanson generously sent me some very nice bits of leather.
I've seen various tutorials, but they all seen to be sheaths that come half way up the handle like this one http://www.bushcraftuk.com/content/articles.php?action=show&showarticle=58. But my knife has quite a prominent and pointy finger guard and I wasn't shore whether it would damage a sheath like that.
Would it be ok or are there any other sheath designs that mite be better?
Any thoughts are welcome.
