Snake Sheath
« on: September 05, 2020, 08:10:33 PM »
Nope, not a sheath for an attack viper, but a sheath with an inscribed snake on the front. 

I decided to do a second pouch-type sheath for my Robert Hill V knife.  So I made this one up.  3-4 ounce cowhide with a heavy welt.  The belt loop on the back also has a stitch-protecting welt on each end.  4-ply waxed Irish linen stitching.  Fiebing's Pro Dye. 

God Bless,   Marc

WOW Marc, that is some very nice leather work. I like the snake motif. Beautiful and concise lines and the stitching is perfect.
Kind Regards

Send me the knife Ian made you Tim. I’ll make you a sheath you can use on the tractor.  I add a snake for you.   :)
