I do a wet for holster type of sheth by wrapping the knife with aluminum foil and then plastic wrap .
Wet the leather and stitch it around the knife .
Let it dry and take the knife out .
Then I put the knife back in and put a stitch above the hilt to lock the knife in the holster .
Just another way to make a sheath without a flap or loop
Lets see the pictures.

They have gone with knives I've made fore others .
I do have a pice of antler that has been started to be a knife handle . Guess I could make another knife and show how I do the holster type of sheth .
