Let's see your leather.

[tradertator]

Keep up the stellar work Dtrap . As much as I love the utilitarianism of synthetic sheaths, leather has so much more personality. The stuff some of the folks on INGO are posting look to be on par with the best guys in the business.

over a year!

I wanted to share a new sheath I just finished for my wife's Busse Pork Chop (really a Pork Shank)

I like turtles

 

[DaKruiser]

I like turtles

Yeah, but are you turtley enough for the turtle club?

I barely made pdub so I doubt I'm turtley enough for turtle status

Ya do some very nice work. I am loving the supple look of your leather, the crispness of your lines and the flawless appearance of the construction.
Great job!

 

[Lagrange]

Here's a sheath I did for a guy in Louisiana a year or so ago....along with a picture he sent me of it on his hip.
Didn't know if I had shared this one or not so...... The knife was a K-bar tanto

 

[DaKruiser]

Wow Lagrange! Awesome work!

 

[Lagrange]

Thanks, so do you.

 

[DaKruiser]

Thanks, so do you.

Well thank You!

Here's two of my most recent, the Busse Team Gemini 14' sheath is my Father-in-laws, and the Busse Son Of Badger is my Daughter's.

 

[Lagrange]

Uh-huh...! That's what I'm talking about.

Is the pocket on the front of the Team Gemini sheath general purpose, or designed for something specific? If the latter, what?

It would be even more super cool with a loop opposite the fire steel for an EZ Lap diamond sharpening rod.

The pocket is made to hold an altoids tin, most use it to hold small survival type items, fishing line and hooks, fire tinder, water purification tabs, compass, sandpaper to sharpen with, all kinds of other stuff. Some add leather to the back of the tin to use as a strop, or sandpaper to sharpen with, or I've even polished the back of one to use as a signal mirror.
Rhino, you remember this thread, https://www.indianagunowners.com/forums/cutting-edge/322010-sheath-pouch-necessities.html

A loop on the other side could be added easily when the sheath was being assembled,

Cool! Thanks for the details!

Man, this makes me want to get into making sheathes. I have been making holsters and belts for a little while. I am making my first rifle sling now.

I need to get a good knife to start my sheath making adventure.

I need to get a good knife to start my sheath making adventure.

That's as good a reason to get a knife as any.

 

[rhino]

That's as good a reason to get a knife as any.

So if I get a new sheath, is that good reason to buy a new knife to fit in it as well? I like this!

 

[Lagrange]

YUP!

 

[grunt soldier]

Dave you were suppose to make two sob sheaths!! Sir we had that discussion

Well, if it makes you feel any better, my SOB is still in a Kydex sheath I threw together after Blade. You know how it goes, the spoiled daughter starts pouting about not having a sheath for her knife, you help her make a sheath.
