Here I go updating again! And this time with a combat knife!

My knife came in four parts
Blade
Hand guard
Grip
Knife butt
I fine tuned everything and sprayed each piece prior to assembling it. This just made painting the blade an easier and cleaner task. The knife went together beautifully, and I canny thank timmsy enough for printing that for me.
Next, I faced a challenge. I was to make my own knife sheath. Quickly glancing over a guide as to how to make one, it seemed straight forward.
Since I’m an annoying vegan and don’t like to use any kind of animal product, I used Vinyl for my sheath material. The premise was still the same.
I traced a shape that roughly resembled a trowel, with some extra width on one side for the welt, cut that separate, and then hand sewed the whole thing. I even added a piece with some sewn on Velcro to give the knife some extra hold.
I then went to attach heavy duty Velcro to my sheath to allow it to attach to my chest plate.
I had it tightly secured, and then realised I made a mistake... I had put the Velcro on the wrong side of the sheath.
I removed the Velcro strip, only to find that it also took the too layer of the vinyl with it.
