Belt Knife & Sheath

 I made this sheath for a gentlemen who wanted to wear it tuck in to his sash and also having a way to keep it secure. So I added a 4" long tab to the sheath and added a braided piece of hemp to the bottom of the tab so it can be tied in place. The top of the sheath has been wrapped with some hemp line to help keep the handle a little more secure also
