Okay, here's what I need. I have been making sheaths for all my knives for quite some time. Just recently I obtained a small Sebenza. No doubt I am going to make a belt sheath for it. The sheath will be hand sewn, made from thinner stock than normally found on fixed blades. The thinner leather gives a thinner profile and doesn't feel as bulky. I'm not sure whether to make one form fitted to the knife with or without the clip attached? I can make it with a metal clip sewn into the sheath so the wearer can remove the sheath without undoing his/her belt and clip it anywhere else (maybe inside pocket of coat)--OR--make the belt loop from leather. Which would be your preference if you were looking for a sheath? Once I get my pattern down, I'll make one for myself and then make one for a forumite that also owns a small sebenza that wants a sheath (free). Why don't you give me your thoughts on what you would like to see?
