    and like Moras? I made this sheath left handed and it's a little too snug for an ESEE 4 but fits a Mora nicely.

    Might work with an RB3 as well.

    It's a 4/10 sheath. Couple stitches messed up. Edge is funky. Missed the stitch inlay on the backside when I made my holes. But it's solid and would make a good beater.

    Wanna give it to someone who will get use from it and not just have to trash it myself.

    This maybe should be in the for sale section but I wasn't sure the intent fit there. Move it if you see fit.

    Thanks.

    Nothing. I made it wrong on accident and finished it just to not waste it.

    PM me your address if you want it and will use it.

    On its way to @erik

    Hope you enjoy it!

    I'll try again when my next batch of scrap leather gets here.

    I am proper-handed however I have a number of sheaths that were made up for me in Satan's Style (lefthanded) as when I carry a rifle slung the fixed blades I favour tend to clatter if worn on the right. In fairness the idea came when a good friend who makes sheaths did up a lefty by mistake for a customer and gave it to me.

    Managed to start another one today. It's actually correct handed so we'll see how this goes.

    I don't buy a knife unless the sheath can be modded to handle lefty action. I have modded all my sheaths to lefty

    got the sheath yesterday (USPS misplaced it for several days along the way here)
    it's very nice.
    Yes, I can see the "flaws" cited above, but it's still better built and cleaner construction than a lot of factory sheaths.

    I appreciate the kind words! I hope you get many years of use from it.

    I don't know if it makes a difference for future treatment but I used Obenaufs on it to soften the leather after dying. You may find it needs a wet forming for your knife but I was pretty happy with the way it fit my Companion as is.

    I'm sure it'll be fine with a little break -in.
    it's a little more snug than necessary with a robust right now, but once it relaxes a little, I'll give it a coat inside and out with sno-seal.
