Making A Simple Leather Knife Sheath

I've made all kinds of different knife sheaths over the years, some for friends around the world, most just to replace the cheap ones the knife comes with. This time, I wanted to make a simple sheath so I can place the knife in my pocket, so no frills, nothing fancy. And I wanted this sheath to look handmade, kind of rugged and a little rough.



This is the custom mini-skinner I had made years ago, D2 and full convex.
Below, you will see the first sheath I made for it, it's great and I did a bit of toolwork, but it's also thicker and heavier. Great for on a belt, not so much in the pocket.


And just for comparison, this next one is a sheath I made for my Mora Garberg years ago and it has a drop leg belt attachment and ferro rod loop.


Almost forgot to show a picture of this in my hand to show the size...
