My first complicated sheath

[dereklee12]

Just looking for some feed back. This is my first complicated sheath. The sheath took about 8hrs. This is my first try at tooling and stacking and adding a fire steel. Thanks for the feed back and sorry for the terrible picture.

The sheath looks nice. Both knives are killer. I really like the Straight Back Parang type knife. Great looking combo!

Derek,
I am not a sheath maker but from having them made and using them in the field this is a great first complicated sheath as you call it.

On the next one think of how a sheath will work on a trail in the bush, Your corners on the sheath may get caught on plants, vines etc. Also over time these corners will get bumped and frayed. Try making the next one to the contours of the blade and round your corners some. Its far better than I could do, I am just trying to help you get to that next level of your sheath making.
