I made this handle from leather, brass and birchbark for a Mora blade sometime ago and it has sat sheath-less for quite awhile. Since I had no leather on hand I managed to knock one out of some bamboo flooring I had left over from a renovation. A small copper plate riveted in place was used to form the belt loop and the small circular spot is a piece of moose antler that I may engrave the recipients initials onto.
