A couple of projects in the works
I bought this knife about a year ago. It came with a crappy leather sheath but I really like the knife and think it's an excellent camp knife so I made a poplar scabbard for it'
The scabbard is designed to be worn on the left side behind the back with the handle angled for a left hand draw (like a main gauche). If I were in garb in the woods I'd have a sword on my left hip and a handaxe on my right side.
The final picture shows that it needs no retaining strap as it is very snug in the scabbard.
Edit the pictures are a little out of order.

Excellent work, as usual, Peter! A fine blade, and a sheath worthy of it!
