I mounted a 5 foot section of 2x4 and screwed it into my bench so that about a foot sticks out. It works awesome for getting into bags, and and I mount my rivet press to it. Great idea with the handle. I will add that to my toolbox.

There is an aspect to traditional sami sheaths that no one seems to mention. I noticed this feature after receiving a Wood Jewel knife as a gift. The knife cannot be drawn accidentally from the sheath by snagging or grabbed with one hand and drawn by someone else. If the sheath isn’t held while drawing the knife, pressure is put on the belt loop ,tightening it around the handle in the sheath. This is a brilliant design concept that is being overlooked or simply unnoticed. I’ve taken a misstep and tumbled down a wooded hillside and ended up with an empty sheath before. That is dangerous and I got lucky. That can’t happen with a sami sheath. The knife doesn’t come out without the proper permission and procedure.(if the loop is made right). Big fan. Awesome puuko.👍

@RustLegion 10 ай бұрын

Thank you for the nice comment , Just checked this and it is true :) And there are so many people criticizing this sheath and saying that it will be very hard to pull the knife out and you can't deploy your knife fast. I tried to explain to some of them that this is not some tactical instant deployment combat knife and it does it's job just fine :)

@chopsddy3 10 ай бұрын

@@RustLegion Folks overly concerned about” tactical deployment “ should look into buying a bayonet or a different style sheath. And ,perhaps should stop watching so many silly “tactical” movies and listening to “tactical “ salespeople. In over sixty years of woods walking , I’ve never had to “tactically “ deploy my knife. My greater concern is not losing my best tool.

Thanks , It's the same leather as the sheath - 2 mm thick vegetable tanned cow leather. When I paint it with the fiebing's pro dye it stays relatively soft after it dries . If I paint it with alcohol dye it becomes too hard and cracks when I bend it .

I also make the belt loop a couple of different ways, by leaving a high spot near the top of the sheath and making a small hole in it. I then either use a metal ring to attach or a piece of leather throught the hole and twist like you did. I make my knot a bit different as well..

Very nicely done! The grandfather of a work colleague made me a leather sheath for my knife when I lived in Thunder Bay, Ontario (LOTS of Finns live there!) because the knife came with a plastic sheath and Grandfather did NOT approve! It has a little "fishtail" flap at the tip - is that just decoration or is there a reason for it? I never thought to ask at the time.

@RustLegion 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the nice words and thanks for sharing this story. As far as I know , there are two types of fish tale puukko sheaths. One is just a bit more leather on the tip and it's for decoration and another type that the whole sheath profile is like a fish tail and I think this one is for easier draw of the knife when you wear thick gloves.
