I've just finished a frame handle bowie and need a bit of help with a sheath for it.
Ideally I think one with a throat and chape similar to the one below would suit the knife but unfortunately this is way beyond my skills!
I've been looking at various types and figure one similar to this style would best suit the knife.
Now for a stupid question...do these type of sheaths (I don't even know the correct name for them!)generally have a belt loop of any kind on the back, or are they designed solely so the stud holds it either through the belt?
I know ultimately it's down to personal choice, but I want to make a sheath which is 'correct' for the knife if that makes sense.
This is the knife in question...
Any thoughts/ideas/pictures for inspiration greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
Ian.
