So old thread but thought Id show off what I have been doing. Obviously NOT professional.
A while ago Gwion was good enough to gave me one of his knives to test. So far Ive only scalped a couple of foxes, skun 1 rabbit and cut a few small branches with it off a sapling to create a hide. It looks like its going to be a great knife with terrific edge holding ability. So to save my fingers and look after it I decided it deserved a sheath.
Got some leather from the local tannery (very cheap at $11 for about 1/2 q sq meter.
here is a few pics in stages and final product, Not fantastic but happy with it as its my second go at leather work. The first was 25 yrs ago. :LOL:

Not as good as Noisy but worth the time.
