Turns out the new pancake sheath I am making has the leather to thick, won't be able to shape it properly and the press studs are too short.....doh.
Will use it as a template instead.
Might look at making a pocket sheath where the knife slips in like the leatherman sidekick sheath but add a press stud to it
I like this style sheath and the simple TR one
I like that style as well.
I need to make up some shaping dies (think that's what they're called) so I can shaoe the top of the sheath slightly before stitching and finish shaping with knife in the sheath, not sure what to use yet, maybe some lentghts of different diameter dowel
what about shaping a few different size wooden models to use
Possibly will end up heading that way
That raiders of the ark sheath made with a king cobra ,he wanted $550
the same knife with a leather sheath was only $135,
Nice display piece though

Nice collection especially the boxed bowies
Love that Indiana Jones Bowie.... didn't really like the sheath tho but as you said 3D, it's cheaper without that sheath.Quote:
