Classic/Traditional Celtic/Norse/Viking Pocket Knife. (non-folding).
OAL: 85mm. Blade:50mm.

Both sheaths are an WIP.
O.E.M. Sheath: Adding a tuck-in flap to secure the knife when in pocket.
New (real bovine leather) Sheath ("updated" version of O.E.M.) has an intrigal flap and belt loop.
(I hope nobody gets 🤮 seeing my very much amateurish and defective leather work.☹️ OH!!! Please feel free to 🤣🤣 at the designs, and/or what I am doing. 😁👍)

The next one I make will be a variation of the new sheath. The belt loop will be arranged for vertical carry on suspenders, or horizontal carry on an belt.
I may (probably will) have to add wings for the belt loop on the yet to make suspenders sheath. Most likely ittle be smooth side out.
I have more than one suspenders, so sewing directly to the suspenders isn't a viable option. ☹️ (that would keep it from sliding down on the suspender)


I wonder ... is using suitable size scrap pieces for belt loops on a insulated nylon "duck canvas" coveralls a viable option?
I have less than zero idea why clothiers can't or won't put belt loops (or a useable for a size 16S and up pocket watch) pocket on coveralls/overalls, and jeans.
Just cuz someone is wearing coveralls/bib overalls don't mean they don't want (or need) to carry a folding or not folding hunting/sheath knife ... or that they wanna leave their watch ta home ... 🤔😡🙄

EDIT (1) OEM sheath mods finished. Good for pocket carry.
Please note I never have and never will claime "expertise' at saddle stitching. 🙄

Decided to add a liner to the inner back of the pouch, to make the knife a tighter fit.
No. I am well aware it is ewwwglyesterest. However, it should keep the blade sheathed in my RFP, and that is what matters most?
