I managed to make myself a KZII sheath today. I was suprised at how much different the KZII is compared to the TTKZ.

This sheath was made to hold the knife even if the snaps are undone. I used RE magnets and welt retention (On the talon Hole), I even managed to get the angles just right so that the scales aid in holding the knife in.

Well on to the pics. :D

Brother I have got to say you are an artist when it comes to leather. I have as yet had the privilage of purchasing a sheath new from you but have to I have aquired used and they are incredible!!!!!!!!! But KZII is on my list and one of those will be a sweet pair of pants for it........
 
Looks great.

I have been wondering how I am going to make a sheath for mine.

I am still thinking fold over deep pouch sheath, because that is easiest for me, without the proper tools.

I still need to figure out an easier way to punch the holes by hand. I have an awl, but the leather is so hard, especially when I get into 4 or 5 layers of 10 ounce leather.

Right now I have to use a hammer and needle nose pliers to get it back out.

Drilling the holes works faster, but is just not as clean.
 
Chuck, that is just plain beautiful! I can just see it in a color to compliment sage and tan.....:cool:

The awl should work fine. Just make sure it is sharp and lube it with beeswax now and then while you are working. Either that or buy a dremel drill press and make your life easy.
 
I have few of your sheaths but that's the one. For not being an ornate creation it's beautiful in form and function. Makes me want a KZII but I gotta pass. Nice work.
 
Great looking sheath Chuck! Really nice work.
I cannot wait to see how you handle my Survivor.
