Well I guess I have the leather work bug bad now! :o I blame it and LeatherHog and Chuddybear.

I have recently completed three more sheaths. I made two others but they didn't come out too well. I keep them around so I can see the mistakes I made.

First up is a pancake sheath I made for my 'Ganza AD. This is the fourth sheath I have completed.

I learned a lot making this one. It may not be pretty but it definitely will not come apart and it fits real nice. I doesn't print at all when I wear it in uniform (not that I care).

Next up is a Molle compatible sheath I made for my Euro4. This is the fifth sheath I have completed. I decided to go with Malice clips instead of sewing on strips to weave around the PALS webbing. I made this to fit on my web gear.

Finally here is a sheath I made for my "Husky" Satin Jack. As with all of the sheaths I have made I learned a lot from this one as well. I like this one the best so far. This is sheath number six.

Well there you go. I have number 7 and number 8 being in progress right now. Now if I could only afford to set up a works shop in the garage. The Mrs. is tired of me taking up the whole kitchen counter with my leather working stuff.

Well I hope y'all like them. Any comments are welcome.



Regards,

Nick
 
Looks good to me! Funny, but I like the pancake sheath best... It has that rugged look to it and looks comfortable to wear, but they're all very nice! :D:thumbup::thumbup: ... So, can we place our orders now??? ;):D
Thanks for posting pix! :thumbup:
 
What's the inner-most stitching on the back side of that first (brown) sheath for? Maybe it would be obvious if you showed a pic down the opening. Likewise with the rectangular stitching on the back of that last sheath...
 
The stitching you see on the back of the sheaths is to hold the welt portion of the sheath against the back piece of the sheath. The welt is two pieces.
 
Nick, nice work bro.

I esp like the malice approach. :thumbup::cool:

Have you field tested it yet??
