Hi everyone I was feeling quite down due to some on-going medical reasons so to distract myself I made a sheath for my Busse son of Badger. The design is based on Horsewright's renouned pancake sheaths:

I am also thinking of getting a Busse active duty for my next knife so I'm hoping to make a stack pouch sheath like the burgundy one below. So the same shield shape but with stingray inlay like the black sheaths in the post below. Sorry I know I've posted pictures of the sheaths before:

Paul thank you very much for the tips you gave me a week or so ago. I've implemented both aspect of your advice and the weave looks substantially better.

Dave thank you very much for your advices and letting me use your pancake design. I see why you love them so much its ridiculously comfortable :)

Nice looking sheaths. :thumbup:
Love the one for your Busse SOB. :)
 
Looking good man! :D Improve a little with each one, well done.
 
Wow that is beautiful, great job.

Glad you got some help from 2 of the best in the business and honorable guys, Paul and Dave are the absolute tops in their craft.
Very nice work my friend.
 
Kaizo great job! That overlaying of the legs on the basketstamp, like Paul susggested really does help doesn't it? Really evens it out, gets it a lot easier to keep it balanced. You seem to have a very uniform depth to your stamping and thats not something often seen till ya been doing it a long time too. I like the outside veiner stamping better on the first sheath than I do on the pancake. Not how ya did it, just the style of it. The slots of the pancake seem to throw it off to me.
 
Thanks Dave and Dave! :)

Absolutely, I don't know why I didn't try it before. Yeah I think the veiner doesn't really go as well to be honest. I did it since I had what you said to me before in mind of having a touch of my own twist to it. I was also thinking of modifying the shape to a more curvy shield like shape but practicality took over. I still need to work a lot more on that... Do you think it would work if I use the inner stitching (around the blade) as reference when doing those and not the outside edge? So that the veiner pattern follows the shape of the blade?

BTW does the holes look warped to you? I can't quite afford a punch so I drilled two holes and joined them using a round knife so its not a perfect oval.

Thanks for your help again :)
 
That basket weave does look better overlapped like that. I'm going to incorporate that tip into my stuff. [emoji41]
