A idea I have been working on

[RedRockNv]

This is how it started out.

I wanted to add a smaller blade to my chopper. This is what I came up with. Put to much glue on it can be readily seen in pics. Will do another soon.

A stitching pony I made for leather sheaths I plan to start making soon.

Nice work on the stitching pony! I never did take to using one, but I hear they work very well.

I've never seen a glued on piggy back sheath, I'm curious how it will hold up in the long run.

Thanks for posting those!

I'm wary of the glue, but it looks pretty good.

Admittedly, I'm not a huge fan of adhesives. Atleast when used alone, as oppose to increasing the strength of a mechanical bond.

What did you use? The white haze around the edge looks like offgassing from superglue.

What would be really cool is if you did 2 or 3 snap settings and have the small sheath snap on and off. Or use some industrial Velcro, the stuff you have to almost pry off to get it to release from each other. Great job though, I like it!

Great job on the stitching pony. Good looking kydex as well. I've done a similar design using removable band of thinner kydex going around the sheath to serve almost as a belt allowing the user to piggyback an assortment of gear depending on their outing such as smaller blades, multitools, survival or first aid kits. The belt can alloy anything you could fit on a standard waist belt to be put on. Thanks for sharing.

I would look into using the 3M Dual Lock to add the extra sheath. This will enable it to be moved into any number of positions on the larger sheath. Run it about 2 inches wide across the whole front of the large sheath. This will also allow you to add different knives.

I used TiteBond polyurethane adhesive. It bubbled up as it cured causeing the white marks. I could just get a blue permanet marker that might fix the problem the easy way. It was just another experiment anyway. Thanks for the comments.

That Titebond is some seriously tough stuff...I swear by the titebondIII wood glue. Great job on the stitching pony. Gene

Titebond III is definately strong, but I found out the hard way not to use it for scabbard making.

I glued the carved poplar halves of a sword-scabbard I made using that stuff. Apparently Titebond wood-glues causes steel to rust quickly. Elmer's doesn't.

Don't ask me to explain it. The glue doesn't even contact the blade...
