Thread: Playing with leather

The latest creation , more along the lines of @hunter Al.7mm08 's traditional style sheaths than my usual 'sleeve' style.
This I made by repurposing the scabbard I had made for the 45/70 as that rifle is gone.
I went for a bushcraft feel with this one and went with lace rather than stitching for an old skool look.
Patterned the leather with an old piece of antler and added the antler handle to the firesteel and also made the beads from antler.
The sheath is also lined with nice soft suede.







The skull bead is to prevent the blade cutting the lace as knife is placed/removed from sheath which my daughter had laying around for a Halloween costume she had made and just happened to fit the gap perfectly and saved me making a specific shaped antler bead (just being lazy)
