Hey Guys,
I made my second sheath recently, another one for my BK16.
(Number One)
http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1176008-Need-help-with-first-sheath-)
Learned some things from my first attempt like not using Neatsfoot oil compound (nasty stuff). This sheath only has color from solar radiation and a couple of coats of all natural Montana Pitch Blend leather dressing. I didn't forget the ferro loop on this one either! I also left out one layer of leather as it just was not necessary (wet formed handle to sheath instead) which made the sheath less blocky. I need to work on dressing my edges now....I have some gum tragacanth and some slickers on the way.
Hope you like. What a great forum.
