Well I thought I would share what I did today. I got the 1311 and I have used it a little bit. I think it is an awesome chopper. Of course the cardboard sheath was leaving a little to be desired so I made this one today. I have made a few sheaths but Im still just in the beginning stages of learning.

I put a couple of D rings on the outside to attach straps to if you wanted to carry it baldric.






On the back I put an extra strap at the bottom so I can lash it to a pack. Thats probably how I will use it the most.



I think this is going to be a great tool that will give me a lot og fun and service <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Dan

Pretty good looking sheath for a beginner. I like it. Some day I need to make the plunge and try some leather work.

Thanks, it is a lot of fun. Every one I make gets a little better. This one just about finished off my first double shoulder of leather.

Nice work on your first! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Sweetness man!

That looks really good! What oz leather is that?

Its 8-9oz

Thanks

That IS a nice looking sheath Psy. Congratulations.

Very well thought out! I like your ideas. And the execution is pretty good too!

Looks good! How is belt carry for you?

Well so far I just wore it around the house last night on my belt with the dangler. I was kind of surprised it carried quite well. It really isnt as heavy as you would think. I joked with my wife that it was going to be my new EDC. I dont think anyone would raise an eyebrow <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
