It's nice to finish up a project. I have so many that sit idle waiting for one thing or another that I feel like I'll never be done with. So after looking at the sheath that the Hanwei came with, I decided there was enough salvageable leather even after cutting the threading out and taking nearly an inch out of the seam. Here's what I came up with!

I stretched the throat of the sheath over the guard of the knife and in the process scratched the $#!% out of it.. sad but it will clean up. It fits remarkably well with an audible click when it's seated.. and it's not coming out on accident for certain. I know it's really rough but it's exactly what I wanted. I wear things of this nature mostly at renaissance festivals and reenactment events with a small circle of close friends so I'm going for period*ish*. I've learned from my tinkering that you should always leave a way to repair something you plan to beat the heck out of.. serviceability is key!

Got a few more projects on the burner.. I'll give you a preview
