rawhide sheath..
medicinewheel:
Thank you all for the nice comments!
@archerybob: The rawhide I used is European redstag, and it is quite thick. The rawhide is always lined with buckskin (or any other thin lather). Thick leather is used for the welt. I used waterproof woodglue for lining and welt.
Well, I'm planing to do anotherone sometime soon, maybe I'll do a little build-along.

Medicine Wheel,
I have failed in my attempts to make a rawhide knife sheath. I would welcome a build along if you make another. What you made is what I had envisioned when I attempted mine but mine came out poorly. I was using deer rawhide.
Thank you,
brian
Pat B:
I also look forward to seeing your build along, Frank.
JW_Halverson:
Yes, welt is the correct word and you are using it perfectly.
That is a beautiful knife, sir. The design is very useful and practical, the scales have the same rugged and simple design as the blade! Everything looks balanced to the eye, and I am willing to bet it is balanced to the hand just the same. Good work making a sheath worthy of such a blade. I wouldn't be afraid to depend on that knife in a tough situation!
Pappy:
Very nice work on both. I have thought about using rawhide but wondered how it would hold up if it gets wet ?
