Need some help...

[GobblerKnob]

I made a patch knife for my son and plan to give it to him for his birthday, which is at the end of February. Can anyone tell me where I can get a sheath made for it at a reasonable cost? Hopefully, the pictures will give you an idea of its size.
This is my first attempt at making a knife and I 'd appreciate any comments you may have. I have two more to build. Thanks in advance. Rick

That is a handsome knife, Rick. What type sheath were you looking for - belt, neck, bag-strap? Any fancy carving or decorations- not it needs it with a knife that nice

I might be able to make one for you at a very friendly cost... let me know if you're interested. I'll try to find some pics of my other work so you can some of what I do.

Beautiful knife! I confer that your son is a lucky fellow!
Also, if you can do this kind of work you certainly can make a great, authentic sheath!
leather and sinew are cheap! Get enough to make 3-4 and by the time you finish the first one you will see how to do a great job> Plus these folks, in here, can coach you through the making. :results:

(Only if Vic can't help you out.)

Sheaths are easy & fun to make. Hardest part is finding the leather.

Hey! My company is owned by Fisher Scientific!

Hey i am up for adoption :: nice knife He is a lucky boy. May I ask if you made the blade or did you buy this some where and fit the handle to it ?

 

[GobblerKnob]

Thanks to everyone for your very kind comments and resource information. Here's knife # 2, which I finished today. It is curly ash with a damascus blade. I'd love to lay claim to the blades, but cannot. I purchased them and fixed the wood to the haft.

Patch knife and more. They're just the right size for gutting a deer. :thumbsup:

I couldn't find any sheaths I made that weren't modern, so I made this for one of my knives that might work. What do you think...

Front, tied on a strap. In use, I'd likely have holes in the strap for the ties. It also works as a neck sheath by swapping out the upper tie for a longer one.

Back, just laying there looking nice ::

Rick- if you're interested and haven"t found anything yet, let me know. Dims are: Length: 7.5" Width at top: 2"

And one of my fancier work, a specialty case for a trumpet (commissioned but never paid for), based on a saddle portmanteau and lined in sheepskin. The designs go around the entire body of the piece and each end, maple leaves in fall.

Detail of the leaf:
