Rough first try.

Post by Ridgegrass »

Last week I acquired a Marble's Safety Folding Hunter, a "Holy Grail" for me. It had no sheath so I thought I'd make one. Went to Hobby Lobby and found two perfect-sized soft leather pieces and some rivets. The rough, rookie attempt is below. I stitched it with waxed floss that we use to rig mackerel baits for Blue Marlin fishing. The knife fits very securely but the soft leather makes it difficult to extract. May try again with some stiffer stock. Had fun doing it. J.O'.

If you are not careful, you will buy some more leather, watch some more videos....and start a brand new hobby!
That is a good, functional sheath.
Keep it up!

Everything else is just a hobby.

Doesn't look all that "rough" to me. Looks like a nice, functional "first try".
