Thread: Playing with leather

Spent the last few nights making a wee double decker pouch/sheath for my new folding scalpel (scalpel for hunting thread) to keep the knife and some spare blades together I can just throw in my bumbag/belt pouch and not rattle around .
Made it using some thin 1.5 ish mm leather scraps kindly donated by @ebf .
Water molded to the knife with a separate slot in back for blade storage . Also molded the lid flap in closed shape to make that the natural shape of the leather which keeps the flap almost locked closed when slid under the retaining cross strap .
Gotta say was a right pain trying to make something so small with such flexible leather but quite pleased with end result . And with the finished article being 4 layers thick is actually quite stiff once completed .

No teaspoons were harmed in the making of this sheath .....
