Thanks Paul and Zed! I always thought making sheaths like this would be dead fiddly but thanks to you i've just made 2 nice ones for hook knives from cardboard and leather in about 10 minutes.

Nice going Simon! i've seen some folk make some real funky sheaths using just that ~Peace~

Great video - thanks! Took me a few goes to get on that wasn’t too loose, but it works a treat. Also, I tried it with leaves from my yucca plant…. Worked really well!

Thanks both - very timely that I just stumbled on this. Felled a small cherry yesterday to try carving some spatulas and spoons from. Noticed how easily the bark peeled off and how durable it felt. Having watched this I just nipped up the garden in the dark and stripped a bit of bark off a small cherry log and ten minutes later my little mora has a pretty little rustic sheath. Might just need to let it dry a bit before I leave my knife in it! Thank you for a cracking quick and easy project. I might have to think about getting a book or two and trying something harder :-)

Thats awesome to hear Ian, Cherry bark makes great sheaths and indeed there are some great books out there which go deeper into the project. Look up the one made by 'North House Folk School' in the US which is a fantastic book about Birch bark and its uses ~Peace~

Great video, glad to see you back Zed. I wanted to mention that there is a great deal of birch bark available in my neck of the woods(Canada) along the hydro lines. They cut down Birch trees after ice storms. With in a km walk, there might be 20-30 trees down. They are just going to rot. So it is a great way to get the bark, without any trouble.
