Mora 162

[dnhald]

I have a mora 162 I got to goof around with spoon making, but I have spent more time trying to fashion some sort of duct tape sheath that actually works. I am comming up dry. any ideas? thought bout a leather or canvas sleeve. what do you guys use?

I made a wood case for mine. Took a piece of bass wood (you should have some laying around I'd guess), carved it into a block, cut off the top. Then I took a shish-ka-bob rod and bent it into the shape of the spoon knife. I then heat it red hot with a torch and burned out a place for the blade. You need to do this several times, removing char as you go. Char will insulate the wood so it must be scraped away. I then drilled a hole for the swing dowel (poplar dowel) and glued it into the top.

Works quite well.

Edit- here's a better pic.

Thats genius Im going to have to try that out. something like that never crossed my mind. I wouldnt want to do it with a wooden handle but along that same concept I bet one could print up something pretty cool with a 3D printer.
(btw stunning knife)
