A custom Sheath for a Battle Mistress!

[Harley46982]

I had a gentleman ask if I could do a bit of custom design work for his Battle Mistress, after discussing what he had in mind and seeing the knife I was excited! This sheath features both a standard belt loop and a removable shoulder strap for carry. I made this from heavier leather than I normally use for my holsters and he intends to beat on it a bit while out in the woods. As a final touch we have stamped his initials front and back and dyed them with a contrasting color. It may not be for everybody but I loved it so much I am now shopping for a Battle Mistress of my own!

Very nice!

The shoulder strap is reminiscent of Sam Elliott's knife in "The Sacketts." His knife was more of a short sword than a knife, though!

Methinks I may need something like this . . . but I'll need a bigger knife. A much bigger knife. Yes . . . yes . . .

Nice work!

Will they make one a little bigger than that puny Battle Mistress? It would make a nice neck knife, though. Heheh

 

[Harley46982]

Well it does have a strap you could hang around your neck!

I think that may take the whole cow for a sheath!!

LOL. That one is the Chuckette. It took roughly 3 years to get, Jerry swore he'd never do anything like it again and Chuck ended up getting a kydex sheath. The thing is a beast. I agree that it would have needed a heck of a lot of leather to be done right

Okay, those two are a step in the right direction.
