knocked this one up yesterday for my fish tailed scandi i made earlier in the year.

The leather is veg tanned leather ,i wanted a sheath that is more discreet than a dangler so i can carry my knife when in the field without attracting too much attention.The design is my own but i guess similar to many sutch sheaths.

Lol, I don't usually get sore fingers from sewing, but I do get CUT fingers from pulling the thread tight. Which sucks because I get cut in the same places at work when I'm using lacing cord (flat string coated in wax) to tie up cable bundles.

Very nice work fish. Looks like you could also use it for carrying behind your back. If I can find the cord to plug my camera up to the laptop, I will post some pics of a crossdraw that I had made for my Randell knife.
