Sebenza and sheath

[anttttt]

I just finished this one up for a lovely 2010 annual large Sebenza, beautiful knife too by the way!

Some very nice designs of sheaths in this thread.

Hello Gary, a nice sheath you have there, any reason why at the bottom of the sheath it curves out on one side. And the extra fold of leather there is that a belt loop?

Thanks
Anthony

P.S. a nice tag line as well.

Thanks Anthony, the curve follows the slight curve of the knife handle to an apex and the top portion is where the leather folds down to form the belt loop, there is a top section that you see here, and a middle section for strength/support and below that is another full layer that is glued to the main sheath and then trimmed and folded down to the back to make the belt loop.

Here's a Tutorial that I made to help teach others in there you will see how that back portion looks.

And, welcome to the forums!

Thanks Gary for explaining that and for the link on how you make the sheath.
