I was working on my second knife sheath when my good friend and his wife stopped over last week to show my family his new cat he rescued from the shelter. He said "I didn't know you did leather" I told him I'm just starting. A few hours later he came back with 2 new axe's he just purchased. He's a forester/logger, and the tools of the trade don't last him very long. Most importantly, the sheath. He begged me to make one for each as the one's that come with the axe last him about a month. So, I gave it some thought and this is what I came up with.
Both are wet formed with a pivot strap system. I added an additional pivot strap to the stud side of the snap so both snaps can be replaced down the road if needed. I'm pretty sure these sheaths will last a long time. Thanks for looking.
The original sheaths. Really cheap quality and thin leather.
