I just finished this one for my scrap yard yard keeper, I'm getting better at this. I still need to work on my belt loops and I may have to add a retaining strap, I thought the knife would be held tighter by the upper piece of leather. My lines are getting better and with practice I hope to make some gear on par with the better craftmen. We'll see :confused::confused:.

Looks nice to me... I'm working to improve my poor skills so sheaths like this are an inspiration for me.
 
I have never crafted a sheath so that one of yours looks terrific. I wish I could do something like that. My first big issue is getting the raw materials to star working. The only thing I have found is too thin or too thick leather that is rigid as a wooden board. Totally unsuitable for stitching as it is (maybe it just needs to be wettened, not sure). I also lack the other stuff needed to treat the sheath after putting it together and not sure if I could get it locally.
