Just finished this sheath for a fillet knife, used a mules foot stamp to try and simulate fish scales. Thanks for looking!

 

[Horsewright]

Those kydex reinforcements are interesting but good idea! I might have to try that out some time!

thank you very much- here's a link to Green Thumb, and a little more on its sheath. The sheath I made for Colibri, well if I'm being honest about it, let's just say from a looks perspective it's not my best work. It fits the knife perfectly and allows for transporting it safely, but it's not something I'd go out of my way to show off

Very nice!

much appreciate, Dave, thanks!

The last batch before Christmas. Finished the sheaths yesterday and got the knives on the website last night. Have sold some already:

No carving in this batch of sheaths (wasn't time), just stamping:

A Vertical Pancake:

These two Cowboy Toothpicks are heading off to Australia:

These two Cowboys and pancake sheaths are Christmas gifts for a brother and sister:

Phew Christmas orders are done! Time to take our annual non trip to Cancun. Oh well the girls and I were able to fit a couple of days in at Cowboy Christmas in Vegas:

My niece's 13 year old son is into knives and just started getting into leather work. He came over yesterday and we (mostly he) made a pocket knife slip. He's hooked.

Thanks, it worked out well, but then the Buck 110 or the 112 have a great shape for top retention in sheaths like that, snaps in securely.
And thanks to my friend Matthew Gregory who made this thin edged magnacut trim knife to my spec's for me as a favour and it slices so very cleanly, makes me smile every time I use it, but, it's scary sharp and I know that one slip and I'll be heading to the ER as it is such a thin bladed knife! Here's a shot of the sheath during the build where I trimmed off the excess after I hand sewn the sheath up, after this it will be put on a drum sander to even the edges, but this removes the bulk of the leather.
