Urban Bushchcraft 2

[PatrickM]

I was getting restless yesterday and decided to make a sheath for a knife I made last year. All that was
needed was an old leather briefcase that my neighbour was throwing out a small nail and hammer and
thread. Then a quick brush up with some boot polish. It's not highly finished as I wanted that hand made look.

Improvisation is the key that opens many bushcraft doors

Nicley done patrick

is the frill made by tying each stitch individually or is it a separate piece sewn in?

That's a beauty! :You_Rock_

I love to recycle old leather. Scrap leather has to be pretty small before I'll pitch it.

great sheath. I have a briefcase sheath by Dave Bud he said it was very hard to stitch.

I love the look of it

Patrick, that is a wonderful sheath, I like the idea of regenerating used materials to make new items. No doubt the sheath will last for many years.

I once knew a mechanic who said he could fix anything with a hammer and I thought he was joking.

Its amazing that you can craft a perfectly functional leather sheath with a hammer and an old nail.

Fire Starter you hit the nail on the head so to speak, that's the whole point of the post.
