Scout knife Piggyback Sheath.

Never posted here before, usually on Traditional Folders and Fixed Blades, but hope this is of interest. Set myself an isolation project and, having never made anything out of leather before, managed to produce this.

Nice work! Are those Marbles knives?

Very nice indeed. Interesting use of a stitch on your retention straps.

No Alberta, the large one is by Wade and Butcher and has Bukta etched on the blade. Bukta was a scouts outfitters who started in the 1920s. The smaller one has no stamp, but many were made by Rodgers. Every lad in the land once had a knife like this, especially if they were a boy scout, girl guides as well I would imagine. Now of course they are prohibited, which is a great shame.

Very interesting. Marble's current Campcraft was originally their Scout Knife; I have one from Mike Stewart's era there in 52100, very similar. Agree it is a shame that Scouts today prohibit knives like that. We used to practice archery and target practice with .22s at Scout camp in the 1950s... I still treasure my Eagle badge.

A quick update. Had some leather left over from the making of my sheath so I made some other things. It's addictive this leather thing. Anyway thought you might like to see them.
