Making a sheath after surgery.

[USNGMG2]

While recovering at home after surgery, I made another sheath for one of my puukko projects. This sheath is buffalo leather I dyed black. I made the oval jump ring from 3/32" brass rod and the belt loop is secured by a Chicago screw post. the wooden insert is sealed with urethane.

Beautiful! I need to learn how to make that type sheath. Are you self taught?

 

[USNGMG2]

Thank you for commenting. I am self taught although the puukkoseppa showcased on the Nordiska Knivar website teach me everyday. You tube also has videos and I look at puukkos as well as their sheaths on the web. Making puukkos and sheaths allows me to be creative as well as relaxing.

Yes it is an A1 . I was in Vietnam during their last deployment by the USN. Great aircraft and my favorite. I was a Navy gunner and sadly not an aviator.

Yes the A1 was a favorite of mine also. I was a crew chief on the F-4 phantom Saigon area 1970
