Started on a new Sheath

[Tony1948]

Started on a new Sheath today for my last bladeThanks again to Adam for the reprofileing he did on this blade,back to the sheath,first the shapeThen cut it out and do a bit of toolingstill a bit of work to do,fixing on the belt loop and stitching,I'm doing the belt loop so it fits on both sides right or left hanging,more to follow.

Nice knife and great looking start to the sheath I must look into leather working to make my own sheaths.
Any advice on starting out tony?

Well it's all done and I think it looks quite good,if you look close at the top of the sheath I'v put a hole both side's so that you can put the belt hanger either side,makeing it a right or left hanging sheath.

Wow that awesome!
