So I've had this Frost's Mora 760 for a while. In fact, it was the start of a very quick long line of Moras for me. It's a very nice knife for $10, but the sheath, even for a Mora, is pretty pitiful. Although this isn't my favorite Mora, and although I rarely use this Mora, I couldn't stand that sorry excuse for a sheath anymore.

8/9oz shoulder leather, waxed nylon thread, trigger snap from Tandy (I think... maybe it's from Lowe's), Fiebings tan leather dye, bee's waxed and burnished edges, and finished off with a couple coats of Sno-Seal.

Is it perfect? Nah. I've got Tanner's Bond showing in places, the stitching isn't clean, the Sno-Seal is gunked up in the stitch holes, and the edge rolled over the stitching at one point during burnishing.

Is it a hell of a lot better and 1000% more functional than the piece of junk that came with the knife? You betcha! :D

Wow! Very nice sheath!

Look at it as a very nice $40 combo...:thumbup:
 
Looks great...but not surprised after seeing the holsters you make.:thumbup:
 
I think it looks just fine. I have found that you can tap down some of that roll over with your wooden mallet.

It certainly looks awesome for a 10 dollar knife.

40 bucks and you have a lifelong buschrafting knife.
