This was my first attempt at manufacturing a leather sheath from scratch. It is actually for my father, for a knife I made him this year for Fathers Day. I wanted to post it on here to see where I can improve, and possibly get some constructive feedback. I'm trying to absorb everything I can regarding Leatherworking in general, and find I really enjoy it!
Please feel free to provide insight into the overall design, and look/construction of the sheath.
I think I will use some type of blind insertion fastener that I can hide in the welt next time to attach the loops. They could be removable then, if necessary.
I tried putting just links to the pictures via "insert image", and they were huge!
