Well, I NEEDED to make a knife sheath today. lol
My leather skills are kind of rusty I must say. Its been a while.
Not the crispiest work, but it'll hold. :)
anyhoo

   My friend Rob had found a miniature knife and sent it to me one time.
The smallest stacked leather traditional hunter pattern I ever saw.
   I know this originally was 1/2 of a "kangaroo" set. A regular knife 
with a little one mounted in front.
Kissign Crane out of Solingen, in case you wondered.

  I was thinking about how to secure the knife in the sheath.  I didn't 
have a tiny snap for the usual strap. I thought about making a leather 
tie, but that seemed too fumbly to get on and off.
  Then a crazy idea came.  How about a simple leather tab like 
gunslingers used, to keep their pistol hammers tied down in their holsters?

  So, what's wrong with this approach? How is it, out of literally 
thousands of knife sheaths I have seen I never saw this? Surely if it 
was a good idea someone else would have done it?
Maybe its been done lots of times and I just never saw it?
