My current knife setup is still a little on the modern side as well. I’ve got a Condor Hudson Bay that I carry on my main belt w my sporran pouch, and a much smaller Mora blade that I put an antler handle on and got a leather sheath for.

Alright, I wasn't sure when I would get to finish the knife sheath, but my schedule cleared up and turns out it is tonight. Here it is, stamped and stained! Looks a little more "Rangery" now. Really glad I took the time to add the star.

Outstanding!

nice sheath

It looks great redhand! That's an interesting suspension method you have there. How do you like it?

I assume you mean the suspension on my snapsack. I got rid of the twine and made 4 little straps to hang on each D ring. It worked out great. It sat comfortably on the quiver harness.

Oh, sorry no. For your bushcraft knife, it seems like that angled loop is your suspension right? It’s neither a horizontal or vertical suspension since it’s angled so I was wondering how you liked it.

Oh, yes. The angled loop is if I want to do an angled carry on the back or crossdraw on the front, but I actually haven't tried in the real world. There is a normal vertical carry loop behind the handle. I wore it vertical on my recent trip.

I'm late posting these, but I finally finished a scabbard project about a month ago that sat in limbo for a couple of years. I made the core ages ago, but just never got around to the leather cover. Finally got a friend to help me out since he's done these before and I have not.

The blade is a Ronin Katana Medieval Saber; not necessarily what most think of as a Ranger blade, but still one of my favorites.





This was the first scabbard core I've done. I've completed a couple of others since, and I've learned to slim them down a little more. This one was a little on the thick/chunky side.

that looks lovely

Nice job!

Damn fine job!

About to start a new batch of arrows. I cut the knocks a few weeks back. Next I’ll sand and fit them to the string, and seal the shafts.
Then, a good night or two of cutting the fletching. It usually goes quick from there. Fletchings attached and wrapped, then arrow heads.
