Ok, so it's nothing super cool, but I figured I'd give it a try.
Small, low-profile, and compact. Fits easy inside a small survival kit. You can tape it anywhere.Cuts and saws (what it's supposed to do, right?).
I'm not great at sharpening knifes, but as it stands, it cuts 550 cord pretty well, so I'm cool with it. I dont need to shave with it.
Oh, did I mention I made it from a hacksaw blade?
I made like 6 of these things just because I could. It was fun.

Izzy, I have a number of 9' bandsaw blades 1 1/4 " wide. You want me to cut you some segments to play with? I have the mechanics save the old ones for just such purposes.

SO in the interest of Tunnelrat's expedition, I decided to slave away and put my meager sewing skills to the test. Here's the sheath I made for his trip. It is made of nylon webbing and has a belt loop and a smaller loop at the bottom. My thinking was that even it it does not go on a belt, the 2 loops give a lot of verstility if one wanted to strap it onto something. It is just wide enough that it fits very nicely underneath MOLLE webbing. It's not much to look at, but it works.

Awesome. I've already got a home picked out for it on my gear for this trip. Now to decide how to best T&E it for you.

on the next sheath, if you fold over the doubled end so that it's 4 thicknesses, and don't stitch it right at the edge of the end of the folded piece, it will stick up just a bit and prevent it from being pulled out of that molle webbing so easially. Or just tie some 550 through that bottom loop tight so it bunches the nylon up. Just a thought. I like it. I have a couple of old hacksaw blades lying around. what do you use to cut a hacksaw blade? another hacksaw?
