A bit of leather work

[yumastepside]

I made a sheath for the el cheapo Mora knife, I used an old piece of leather as it was a bit of a test run mainly to see if my template was correct, I made a few mistakes that can be fixed in later models.

.....also made some keyrings and fridge magnets....

I have been making shotshell key rings exactly like that for years. Nice gifts. However, spend the cash for ball bearing swivels. The wire type wear out quickly. Also, always remember to leave the dud cartridge home before checking in for a flight. Security won't let you through. Ask me how I know ... how many times.

I know they are ugly as sin but Mora plastic sheath does have its advantages. Mine clips on so I don't have to take my belt off to get hooked up. Plastic doesn't get moldy and the Mora sheath has a large hole in the bottom for drainage.

Very nice sheath especially for a first try! Good job!

The batwing is a neat accent. Next time I suggest adding rivets to reinforce the corners of sewing for belt loop. Very good work.

You did a nice job finishing your edges. I feel clean edges are one of the best ways to send your work to the next level.

That is impressive.

Yep, been there, done that!

I always leave a hole in the end of my sheaths and holsters....I find the original sheath good for fishing but noisy when hunting.

Thanks to all for your comments.
CM McKenzie, yes I agree, you see so many nice leather jobs spoiled by unfinished edges.
