My current work in progress...
Thought I would try something different for this knife so after picking up some more leather offcuts I decided to go 'blingy' , with a nod to the kydex style sheaths.
So pancake style rather than my usual wrap around and getting bored with brown/black colour, my hunting clothes pretty much all green so why not thinks I.....

I really like the results....
Still not finished yet , have to add belt loop which will probably also have torch holder built into it and have some different colour washers on the way, bit to much green maybe at mo, but like it enough might make matching belt pouches etc.
And as usual colour is patchy by design, almost black in places as didn't want it to bright.
Also the stone holder is it's own seperate sheath which bolts on, as will the belt loop as my usual style.
thats a bloody work of artQuote:

I really like that!. What a cool way to blend traditional and "tacticool" styles. The colored washers are a nice touch. Look forward to seeing finished product.

a little led lenser , forgot the model , but fed by a single aa battery . Just have it as a handy little backup/emergency light , but nice and easy to get to on sheath when can't be bothered digging around for head torch .
So been a busy couple weeks with the leather....
A Mercator pocket/belt sheath for a friend at work with titanium pocket/belt clip....

The knife I made the green sheath previous for the missus has claimed as her own but didn't like the green sheath style and wanted more like I usually made, so did a more traditional style but again used titanium belt clip so can put on belt or hang on bag.....

So the green sheath from earlier post is now a spare but liked the style so made a new one, the same idea as first , for my knife and being a modular design was able to replicate mounting points for stone holder and belt/torch holder and fit to new sheath instead...

I then decided to make a sheath for my Mercator which would sit sideways/horizontal on the dead space on front of knife belt but hopefully tuck in enough to not get in the way stepping uphill...and match green knife sheath...

And on the belt...

Got a multi tool which I think will get the matching sheath treatment next....
That's some nice work @Ftx325. Always good to keep the missus happy[emoji6]. Do you mind if I ask where did you get the belt clips from?. They look like a good design.

Something a little different. My watch strap perished and finally broke so I decided to make my own for my old faithful Casio. Along with a simple sleeve for my new phone
