They were common, with leather rings for the handle, I can remember taking the handle to pieces when I was younger and how difficult it was to get it back together. The sheaths we’re riveted, I haven’t found that so far!

I was a Boy Scout for five minutes when I was twelve…ish until I got kicked out for being a disruptive little prick (well that’s how I remember it) and I had the knife at that point in time. There are two knives that I would like to be reunited with (but never will be) that one and my dad’s pig sticker that his brother made for him.

My old pig sticker, with a bone handle, is stuck in a stud at the Bach garage holding my coils of weed eater nylon!

I read that as coils of weed full stop for some reason...

To be fair I’m as pure as the day I was born, never tried any drugs that weren’t prescribed by my Doc! I’ve always seen it as a weekness, and am a little bit pedantic about what goes into my body! Saying that I smoked till I was 23 hahahaha

Plenty of cannabis around in my younger days, alcohol was mainly draught beer, had the old bing on vodka, blackberry nip, but learnt hangovers were a pain in the arse when I was in my 30s. Hate being pissed, but enjoy wine, beer or a good whiskey, on a regular basis in small doses. If I keep talking like the I’ll be joining a church singing hallelujah and talking in tongues.

Very little of it only 5 times a day, guess I could smoke some dope to slow me down, but done need the paranoia that goes with it!

That sheath would fit my knife! Must be one size fits all?

strangely enough my first sheath knife was an origonal bowie...made in japan....had same leather handle as one above...blade smaller than yours....

, an important knife for me this one. Last of the lock down knives I got finished. Stainless 14c28n stainless Mamba. Stabilized Rimu with lime green Juma snake skin handles. G10 liners and pin stock.
This is the last knife to come off my little 1 x 30 grinder.
It's nearly worn out now but has been a great little machine and I have learned a hell of a lot using it.
I now have my 2 x 72 grinder running so the level and learning go up again.

Hi team, just want to give a big shout out to @terryf from Knives4Africa, we made me a bespoke sheath for my Mora Kansbol, rapt with it, big thanks again Terry

Scouser’s Bushcraft Knife Project Phase 3

The red G10 Liners arrived from @Shelley, big thanks mate, he also sent me some S/S pipe and brass rod for the rivets, I decided to make all 3 Stainless Steel….

So first was to open up the existing holes in the blank handle from 5mm to 8mm in my milling jig



Then turn the two S/Steel pins




Then score up the blade handle section with the Dremel to give the Epoxy glue a good chance to stick, and rough up both sides of the Liners……
