    Been working on a leather sheath for my RS6 tracker knife.
    Setup for carry in my backpack, so no beltlook attachments.

    Chamfered the edges of the leather, made a groove for my stiches... should have made a mold to get the curved parts smoother... :O

    Next up, dry further, ad some color accents, and wax it.
    Nowhere near perfect but a fun and learning experience.
    To be continued....

    And.... Finished :D
    Dyed the edges black, the brow was given a layer of olive oil. Then waxed the whole sheath. It's a nice tight fit.
