New sheath for my neck knife

[Kepis]

Made a better sheath up for my neck knife, started it last evening and finished it this morning, made from skived down 3mm full veg tan leather (thank gawd for a scraps box) that formed wonderfully when wet, i didn't want a show off sheath for this knife, just something simple & functional, but elegant.

The dangler is removable by simply undoing the leather lacing giving me the option to carry the sheath on my belt or as a neck sheath, the dangler incorporates a simple antler button, which just keeps the looped end of the leather lace in place and something to tighten the lace up against when the dangler loop is being used.

Very nice indeed. Compared to the first offering its way way nicer and still quite understated.

Thanks mate, here you go, the edge was still unfinished at this point

 

[shaggystu]

thanks for that mate, i was just curious how/where the belt loop was fastened on

 

[Kepis]

it's just through a hole, i thought about doing the more traditional method of the three holes each side and weave the belt loop through, but as i want this more as a neck knife, the leather loop seemed a far better option, still gives me the option of a belt carry onthe danger if i want to though, ive just got to put a brassed eyelet in and it's done
