Leather Mora Classic Knife Sheath

While working to entertain myself the other day I decided to make a new leather sheath for my buddies Mora Original. Upon completion I informed him I was trading him for my Mora Clipper with Kydex sheath (It was a "Gentleman's" trade). So needless to say I was pretty happy with the outcome.

The sheath was wet formed around the knife. I did not stain the leather and did a simple coat of mink oil in it when I was finished. If I had some SnoSeal I would have used it.

I used artificial sinew for all of the stitching and cordage. I did a two strand twist to form the cordage used for the neck loop and an additional four feet worth of it wrapped around the sheath for the hell of it. There are a couple loops at the end of the cordage pieces for attaching little things that might need to be tethered to you. All in all, a success.
