A bit of work to make Dirk!

[Panache]

Followup

Now there are things I really like to do or make; woodworking, gardening, gin and tonics, etc. Leatherworking is not something I enjoy. I have made a few things for my son Sinbad because (1) I really love him and (2) buying kid's accessories is really costly. So I have put off making a sheath for this knife.
I will be at our Northern California Burns Night reciting Burns "Address to a Haggis" (hopefully correctly). I needed to make a sheath for my dirk to draw it out at the right moment.

I whipped up this sheath without a single stitch. The whole thing is held together by a super glue, one leather screw, and three belt loops.
It's made from a very cheap leather belt from Target, the leather belt loop from a thrift store belt (that supplied the acorn decorations), and a small amount of black vinyl. It may not be the best sheath ever made, but for less than an hour's work I'm happy with it.



By the by, the knife fits all the way into the sheath, I just didn't put it in all the way when the F-H.C.A.G. snapped the photo.

Thus the project is finished!

Cheers

Nice work. I love to see recyled material used in creative ways.
