Sheath for Scottish Dirk

[Dreadhead]

My dirk has nearly killed me twice. first time i dropped it intae the back of my knee and it missed the tendon by a mil and left me limping for months. second time it fell out of its crappy sheath and nearly took my big toe off. so decided its time for a new sheath! :swordfigh

used pre dyed veg tan leather and came up with my own simple suspension design. i also made the sporran in the pictures. terrible quality as im using my phone

badass angel guardian of my land...and most likely very offensive tae the person interred beneath her.

EDIT: some brighter pictures.

incase anyone is curious about the big chunky dee rings i used, i took them off a belt you get free with alot of mens cheap trousers. found a load of the useless belts so cut them up for the rings.

Thanks for looking. Hamish
