I made a sheath for the backpacking knife that I posted earlier this week. The sheath is a fold-over or pouch style sheath that is hand stitched with waxed nylon thread. The sheath was cemented with Pliobond contact cement before I stitched it up. The sheath is finished with Dark Brown Fiebing's dye and sealed with Acrylic Resolene. I tried to just seal it with Bick 4 after dyeing it to achieve more of a matte finish but some of the dye from the sheath loop rubbed off on my pants so I went for the Acrylic Resolene to avoid this in the future.
