That is a great project I've made him for smaller knives and never even dawned on me to make one for my machetes well off to the garage thanks for sharing
Nice - this whole modular approach is super cool … I had some of the same compression issues installing a retainer for a firesteel on the leather sheath I made for my parang … apparently it’s something to think about whenever extra stuff is added …
@@BorealWilderness Ikr - I’m working on a more traditional style wooden one now, just kinda guessing my way forward … I am not sure if it’s gonna be more practical than the leather sheath, but it’s good fun I guess well see. I hope I’ll be able to find a way to fit a small whetstone on there along with a firesteel and a spare small knife, but we’ll see 😏 if not my next project will probably involve pvc …
Yes, I just bought a short length of thin drain pipe, cut it down the middle and popped it on the oven. It softens up then I take it out and let it cool flat. I then mark up then reheat and form it.
Awesome job

I was thinking of making another - better sheath. But this one is so functional, and not really thattt terrible....so I'm sticking with it for now :)

Rather than a whetstone, the Fallkniven DC4 is a better and more robust field sharpening tool, imho. That's my all in one field sharpening :)
You did a very nice job there. Do those grommets with the hole have any special name? Thank you.
I usually search for "brass eyelets" to find these online :)
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
How did you get the pvc? Is it just a pipe you heated up?
