Some might know of similar thread in the Swamp, I thought I'll 'show off' my leatherwork for Dogs here.  Oddly enough, most of the Dogs I have sport kydex, but a few were left out.

Here is the first one Normally I'm not a fan of pouch sheaths, but if I want to make a $ out of this leather 'business' I need to do stuff that I might not be too fond of myself. So here's one I made for my Scrap Muk ![[Linked Image from i1231.photobucket.com]](http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee502/elof_alv/53957DF3-E975-4017-88F1-3CFA3AF8D74D_zpsyxamuovh.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i1231.photobucket.com]](http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee502/elof_alv/8DD74842-B6B8-4343-930A-231ABCD8F639_zpsxo7wmi17.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i1231.photobucket.com]](http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee502/elof_alv/5A244705-17C2-485A-A5FD-159DD240D2AC_zpsbr4jz3so.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i1231.photobucket.com]](http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee502/elof_alv/4AA84D30-2782-47D1-9309-F714555BAEF8_zps9qr184er.jpg) Edges left somewhat rough, leather only waxed (will do one more coat), no dye. The different colors are just wax absorption differences, it will even out in a few days on it's own.

That looks great! Yeah, I'm not a pouch sheath guy, I want something with a strap to secure the knife in. Even if it feels tight I want that extra assurance. MM
