Woodbox sheath for the 9?

[Ferahgo]

Has anyone seen it or tried it? I would like to give it a go.

What's that?

 

[Ferahgo]

Something similar to this. Maybe closer to a khukuri sheath or something?

 

[SynSerp]

That's seems nice but more decorative

like this scabbard I made for a condor khukri machete?

Always nice to see someone taking initiative and making something out of nothing

Yes, something much like that.

go for it!
I used some scrap 5mm plywood for that one - probably luan, possibly baltic birch.

We have a bunch of thick cedar planks lying around. I think they will do nicely. How exactly did you go about doing yours?

traced the knife, added 3/8" all the way around, cut out 2 of those - then cut out 3/8" wide welts and glued it all up with titebond 3 and sanded the edges smooth.
the leather was attached with barge cement.

Thanks for the advice. I think I may use the original khukuri style for adding leather to to outside.

Different strokes I suppose but that just seems like a terrible idea.

One way to find out, no?

if you're going to do that, use one piece of wood 1/2" thick and carve the blade shape out of it, then cap with a 1/4" thick piece.
