Some more leather Mora tool sheaths

[craeg]

These were finished today and none too soon as I was sick of catching my finger on the spoony knife

The Mora draw/push knife & spoon knife are a bit awkward but these were the best designs that I could come up with. I think I will try to improve the spoon knife sheath.

The spoon knife is 3.5 mm brown dyed veg tan and hand stitched with linen & glued with contact adhesive. The handle closure is a medium brass Sam Brown. Reasonably pleased with this awkward to make but functional sheath.

The push/draw knife sheath is made from saddle 5mm hide with 2mm tabs that are closed with medium Sam Browns. To get it to stay fixed to the tool I wet formed it and so it grips nicely and doesn't slide down to take blood when I don't want it too
I am really pleased with this one and it will do for good I reckon!

Both sheaths had their edges bunished and then edge cote was applied to keep em nice. Finally a nice finish of carnauba wax was applied liberally.

Any comments welcome

Good job I'd say, looks nice.
Better than getting cut when your searching for a blade as well.

I have to say that I did not see your previous thread but it was a way that I came up with that covered an awkward blade. I have another more simple design that I tried but was not happy with.

Cheers
