Some More Leatherwork

I've been on a roll here for the past few weeks making leather items. I've eased back a bit on the knife making because of the time it requires me to spend in the shop in the evenings. At least with leather, I can sit at the kitchen table and work with the kids running around. Jack, my 4 year old, has also showed an interest in how it's done. Could be just a passing thought, could be just trying to be polite to his dad, or it could be the start of an interest. I'll just have to wait and see.

Anyway, I recently acquired this BHK Woodsman Pro with a beautiful brown flap sheath, right handed of course. Looked just like this one here. The sheaths they make are really top quality, and I intend to pass this one along to someone who can use it, but as a lefty, I had to replace it with something I could use myself.

After a couple of false starts, I settled on a foldover style that I've used in the past with the addition of a single retention snap. I don't know why I am putting snaps on all of my sheaths lately, just an accent I think makes them look good and add a bit of extra function to them. Of course, on a neck sheath, the snap is critical. I had enough leather left over from the neckers that the whole BHK family now has matching sets of pants.
