mora sheath making

[monkey boy]

i got my first knife in the post today, its the frost mora carbon steel, i love it, great value for money. already iv cut myself on it, so i see now why its highly talked about on the forum. i dont think much of the sheath and i want to make one myself. has anyone got any good advice on how to make one or maybe a good link that i could read. it will be my first attemp at making one so i dont know what i should be looking for in the leather or where to get it. i would be very happy if someone can help me
many thanx

Great knives eh?

Right, as for sheaths, here goes...

Rapidboy's tutorial - makes great sheaths, though unfortunately the pictures are missing.

British Red's tutorial

Either of these should give great sheaths, but given the style of the Mora knives, I would do the following (and intend to, when I get my mitts on some leather):

DKW's tutorial

It's a Scandi sheath, so should fit in with the style of the knife well, though it does seem a little more difficult to me...

Hope it goes well, post pics when you're done

PS: Sorry I forgot to say where you can get the leather!
Le Prevo Leathers is a fairly popular one, and you can buy full hides, or if you're only making one or two sheaths, you can buy strapping with the required width.

Good luck and don't forget to show us the photos!
