Title: Sheath Ideas
Post by: Tom I. on November 21, 2009, 09:45:00 AM

Hi Fellas,
I've been lurking in your forum for sometime now and am amazed at the amount of talent displayed here.  You guys are some of the best!  
I've recently had an old Pal 36 restored and it now needs a sheath.  I've made several sheaths for this syle of blade in the past, but was hoping for some new ideas.  Here's a pic of the Pal as it is today:

I'm not sure of correct terminology, but the "guard" of this knife is straight and extends an equal amount on either side of the handle.  This is the style of sheath I made to fit this kind of knife.

Are there others?  How about posting some pics of your sheaths.
Thanks,
Tom I.

Tippit's sheath is gorgeous! Unfortunately I don't think my skill level is equal to that makers.  Plus, the pouch type sheaths, for a knife with a straight guard like mine would turn out too large, IMHO......but that's a beautiful sheath!
