Skrama sheath .

 I finally got around to making up my own kydex sheath for my Varusteleka Terava skrama bush knife .

 I opted for coyote brown kydex to match my packs and gear , the sheath can run off a large tek lock but have also  made up a dangler belt loop from an old British forces 1958 pattern canvas webbing belt which Ive modified .

I added in some extra brass kydex eyelets so that the sheath can be mounted to either a low ride on the leg or a high ride nearer the hip .  A large tek- lok  belt clip has been fitted to the top of the webbing belt for easy on / off capabilities or the old canvas webbing can be folded over and screwed together to form a conventional belt loop .

I also added a length of 550 cord with a ITW Nexus cordlock to form a basic leg strap and have also fashioned a brass popper handle retention strap that again is screwed onto the webbing belt so everything can be stripped for cleaning  but will probably add a secondary snap to the strap as well .

Ulu masked .

4mm veg tan wet formed leather rustic ulu mask .

The one piece leather sheath was distressed on the workshop floor and indented using a gnarly stag antler before being sponge dyed with dark and light brown dye for an aged effect .

Hammered copper saddlery rivets and antiqued brass kydex eyelets were used so the owner can mount it to his pack whilst hunting . The sheath was then stonewashed with marbles in a tumble drier to complete the aged look .

  The drop point tip of the Ulu fits snug under the last brass eyelet to aid in retention  so the ulu must be pivoted to draw from the sheath .

Secondary retention comes in the form of a braided latigo lace thong with twisted copper wire and a Nepalese ox bone skull mantra bead .
