Large foldover sheath

Interesting idea!! I've never seen that done before. I like it. Also it would look a bit less scary if open carrying.
 
I like that idea, and a good thought for a trunk/get-home knife. I watched a video yesterday about making a flip-flop winch with a thick rope, or other cordage, and 2 logs. It was pretty cool seeing what can be doing with such a rudimentary machine, using a knife and/or saw with some cordage. Could be a really cool piece of knowledge for winters, where I even keep a tow strap in the small car, just in case.
 
Great sheath and will protect the knife from the knocks it would otherwise see in a vehicle.

Nice job!

Well now you made me go and look at flip flop winch videos. Cool technique. It's kind of a weird idea because if you're clever enough to do that then you're clever enough not to have gotten your vehicle into that predicament in the first place - or, you know, to have a winch.

I'll have to disagree with that, simply because of my experiences with winter driving and how unpredictable it can be. Especially at night when you can't well see to the left and right. And, sometimes it's for helping other people. I've dug a lot of people of ditches. I think the worse was when you couldn't tell what was a driveway and what was the ditch because from the road it all the same height. This was in the city even where things are usually plowed up nicer. Interestingly enough, it was my first date with my now wife, when I pulled that lady out of the ditch. I do miss my that truck.
 
Good idea. I remember sheaths like that in the early 1900's and really mostly for handguns, but there was a few made for knives. I like it
 
Nice work & great idea for protecting the entire knife and keeping debris out of the Sheath. I really like the subtle style of your work.
Thanks for sharing,

So back in the 80's and 90's there was a Cali gun show called the great western gun show. It had 8 miles of tables. Eight total buildings the largest of which was 1000 ft long. The smallest 400 ft long anything and everything gun, old west and military related was there. If it existed it was there. I grew up going to that show every year. So yeah, everything early 1900's was there it was like a museum. Then of course the tards took over CA and the show was shut down in 1998.

He thinks he's seen winter because a few times a year, over the 3 months, he sees half an inch of snow that stays overnight...
 
I love it! My first fixed blade was a Buck Woodsman and it came with a leather fold over "Snoopy" sheath. Always liked it and wished more leather guys had that style as an option.
 
I have a Nano coming and that size would look good in a foldover. Probably black. Foldover sheaths have been around awhile, I build a few for the Buck Knife guys.
I do like the protection they provide, These Busse's are cheap:)

I see... we just had that much again Sunday evening, after having 65 degrees on Saturday.

Honestly, the ice is the worst sometimes because you don't know the roads are garbage. 31-33F and rain... it's tricky stuff. It can also make it an adventure just trying to break into your own car.

Ice? Snow? What's that? :confused: You mean like the stuff we put in our drinks? :confused:

Not sure how you would get your car in a drink but I guess you would need some kind of contraption to get you out. :D:D:D

In South Florida, we have sugar sand and some mud but I usually stay clear of it. Although, my friends aren't always successful.

I take it you haven't added whiskey to your water to keep it from freezing while out and about? It's kind of the same mixture. If you go heavy enough, you even forget it's cold outside.
