Randall Combat Companion, "Bushcraft" style
I've posted a couple of my "Stanaback" style sheaths here before. For this 5" Randall Combat Companion the sheath body was just a bit too small for the EZELap to go on the front of the sheath, so I made up a rod holder that's an integral part of the welt. I've seen bushcraft sheath with fire-starters mounted this way, and all of them created a noticeable bulk on the welt. This method blends the holder right into the body of the sheath.

Thanks guys I enjoy projects like this that a) take a little design planning, and b) work out the way I hoped ! In this case, the rod holder bent slightly when I stitched it (to conform to the shape of the sheath). The slight curve made it impossible to get the EZELap in I dampened it slightly and ran a steel rod through it, let it dry, and Presto, the fit was perfect.

Very nicely done, Mike! You could save a little time and effort by doing all your stitching when you sew in the welt. Contact cement would be adequate to hold the attachment together. ---Sandy---

I thought of that Sandy, but knowing how leather likes to stretch, and knowing that the friction fit is the only thing holding the rod in place, I decided for overkill. With the extra stitching line in place there's less to stretch.
On the sheaths which have the rod mounted on the front, the knife handle acts as a stop for the rod (in fact the knife has to be drawn in order to pull the rod). Mike __________________ Trying to become the kind of man my dog thinks I am http://www.fototime.com/ftweb/bin/ft...E4E363B}&tio=0 |

Dave --- Hiya Shipmate I've been on the "E" !! My first was Oriskany (CVA 34); also cruises on Providence, Blue Ridge, and a dozen others for short times between '69 and '75. Even Michigan (DASO shot) for a day in '83 !
Yep, some good times 25 years total, went by too fast. Mike __________________ Trying to become the kind of man my dog thinks I am http://www.fototime.com/ftweb/bin/ft...E4E363B}&tio=0 |

On the Blue Ridge, I was on the Mt. Whitney attached to COMSECONDFLT. There sure are a lot of ex-Navy on here. (thats a good thing)
