It's a Shoe, it's a Sheath, it's a Recycled Shoesheath tm.


Have recently bought a Mora 120 Wood Crafters Knife, it is without doubt one of the best whittling knives I've used.

Mora of Sweden does an excellent range of bushcraft, carving and craft knives, these are amazingly priced for the quality (the Mora 120 was £12.00) and highly praised within the bushcrafting community (see Mors Kochanski).

The Mora 120 has a short, razor sharp Scandi grind blade and a large, wooden, oval handle. It came with a grey, plastic sheath like most Mora knives. This is fine, functional but aesthetically lacking.

I decided to make a leather sheath that befits the style and quality of the knife, using the leather from a worn-out shoe I made the sheath below:




All I need now is the right Jumper and a log cabin.
