Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades Replacment Kbar sheath

I have a friend that is an old Saltdog Viet-vet Marine who still carrys his issued Kbar for camp knife. I seen the poor poor shape the sheath was in, holes in it rotting apart.(They were never made that well to begin with and 2.5 years jungle didnt help)
Anyway at a military service rifle shoot which happened to be on Marine Corp birthday last Nov. I snuck his Kbar out and made a tracing of the well worn blade.
This is what I came up with for the Sarge.


When he asked what he owed me I told him " you already paid"
I finally found a way to make a Gunny have nothing to say.

That is a nice replacement sheath indeed! Well done.

Thank you, Its ALOT more heavy duty leather, hand stitched 7oz dbl shoulder with the throat doubled up, as you can see.
Like I say he still carries his Kbar and I figure this sheath will last him for as long as he is around.

You do good work, both on your knives and your leather work.

Thanks friend, mucho appreciated

This is a picture of some of my knife work and leather work from years ago, when I was still making knives regurlarly.

This picture was published in a Knives Illustrated magazine several years ago.
