simple sheath.jpg IMG_0762 (1).jpeg IMG_0763.jpeg I don't usually build sheaths but focus on scabbards for MUCH larger blades. However, a friend asked if I could do a couple of sheaths for some knife kits his father made for him and I told him I would give it a go. I thought they didn't turn out too badly although after seeing Chris's first attempt below I think I've still got some things to learn!
 
I like it. Functional. It has a nice rugged, rustic look.

One of the things I have learned for my own preferences is I'm always a fan of rounded corners on a sheath for comfort, and using the minimum amount of material protruding from the profile of the knife, also for comfort and aesthetics as well.

Thanks for the feedback David. I'll definitely keep both of those things in mind on the next attempts!
