    Default Wilderness sheath.

    Sheath for a knife I did last month.

    Knife compared to a mora.

    The pouch is large and adjustable. The container in the pic is a large garlic salt bottle and there was room to spare.

    I'm liking it. The knife is working out great as well.
    I had a compass, but without a map, it's just a cool toy to show you where oceans and ice are.

    I did not make the nylon stuff, that was removed from a chest rig I have. I have one more for another sheath project.

    A bottle that size should hold a lot, what do you carry in that one?

    I've had that kit for some time. It's quite the trick to set up camp and not cut your cordage. Here it is from my bolo sheath, "wilderness sheath V1"

    You wanna field test it SD? You'll have to make your own kit for it.

    Looks like the knife and sheath are both well done. Good job!

    the spear points you put on your blades are the exact type I prefer. Handles can very and do on many of my own, but of all the different styles those blade styles seem most useful to me these days.

    I have gone through any number of preferences over the years.

    I am coming to believe that Horace Kephart got it pretty right on his all around knife.

    While I have several similar, I am hoping condor comes through with the exact spec version so I can get one affordable and really test out the design.

    Thanks for sharing your work.
