    Default Sheaths

    Two I made recently:

    The shiner one is mink oiled and resolined, the matt, just mink oiled and the loop is for a ferro rod. These are £32 each.





    Designed around the Bushcraft Force and old fashioned Mora they should easily fit other similar knives but I cannot guarantee a close fit.

    Thanks all for looking

    Being a little specialist I'd like to get these out - they should comfortably fit a 2000 or 2010.

    I'm open to interesting trades, particularly deer stuff and in particular a roe caller.

    Lovely work Rich, I'm all sorted for sheaths or I would have snapped your hand off, definitely worth the original asking price, don't figure ?

    I would have bitten your arm off for one but I;ve just ordered a load of leathercraft tools to have a go.

    It's a good job I didn't bite your arm off then; you'd only have one left to offer out!

    It's gonna be a painful start me thinks, but you'll no doubt here my cries for help as soon as I've knackered my first 10 efforts!

    Cheers Dougster!

    I'll take one if I may -- the one on the left if it's still available. PM me with details if we're on.

    It's best not to learn by wasting as much leather as I did.

    I'm a teacher, I get holidays.....

    Hi Richard,

    The sheath arrived this morning, thanks, and it's just perfect! It could hardly have been better if it had been tailor made for the knife!

    The knife slips in the sheath easily with a nice firm push, no snagging or anything, the sheath grasps the knife very firmly when it's in there, and then a squeeze fore&aft loosens it enough for it to fall out.

    This knife has been begging for a good quality sheath for at least 30 years and now it's finally got what it deserves.

    Thank you.

    Cheers,

    Ged.

    Richard

    Picked up the sheath this morning from the post office. As with the other sheath I own, made by yourself its real quality workmanship . I have tried a couple of my blades in it and can't quite decide which one will get a new jacket. Thanks again.
