Leatherwork
When I first saw the SOG Desert Dagger on Uma Thurman’s hip back in 2003 I knew I wanted one!
In Kill Bill the knife is carried in a worn leather sheath which looks great. Imagine my disappointment when my one arrived in a nasty kydex sheath!
It was the first knife I ever owned with a kydex sheath, I didn’t even know you could get knives in plastic sheathes up to that point!
I always wanted a leather sheath for it, I did think about buying one but never got around to it. Once I joined British Blades and started to look at the work in the leather forum I realised that maybe I could make one myself!
In other words the Desert Dagger is really the whole reason I took up leatherwork. I didn’t attempt it straight away as it would have been too hard, but I’ve been practising and recently came to the point where I was confident I could made something good.
I’m very pleased with the result! I tried to make something really special for it and I’d be surpised if there’s another Desert Dagger sheath in the World that looks like this one!
