Ok. I have done 2 pouch sheaths (read: eye sores that protect knives), and saved all the horror of having to view them. Now I have something that I am interested in some critique! It is a pouch type with multiple carry options. It is set up for horizontal carry, however, with the 'frog', you can carry vertical, or on a dangler with 550 cord to lash to leg. Thoughts? Hope these pictures come through, I kept getting a "file too large" trying to link to photobucket, even though the pictures are smaller than BF parameters... IDK...

Schmittie: thank you!

Goose: thanks! I truly don't remember how I arrived at that. I've had something similar in my head for a while now. I can't say that I'm a complete noob. I started into leatherwork about 10 years ago doing braided (technically I believe that it is macramé) leashes and collars for dogs. But straps and a little cutting and bevelling was about the high and low of it, and always latigo or harness leather, never any of the tooling or carving leathers. Truth be told, that sheath is made from an 7/8 oz single shoulder. The vertical rig is made from a double finished oiled piece of latigo. The pouch is a lightweight piece of black (who knows what) from a remnant bin and black latigo. I used super sheen on everything to try and achieve a uniform look to a piecemeal sheath.

Anyone, leather worker or not, your weigh in would be greatly appreciated! Whether good, constructive criticism, or bad, I would love to hear it!
