Left handed sheaf for a mora

I received my first mora from raychil as a trade. I am ver impressed. By the knife. However the sheath bugged me for two reasons.
1 how plastic
2 it only works for right hand carry.

I therefore decided to make my own. As the blade is very sharp I wanted to put it in something which would minimise the chance of it cutting through the sheath. I do not have any kydex, I do however have some off cut plastic guttering. A little time with a heat gun and I had the liner made and as a bonus it fit snugly around the knife.

I have made the sheath up using Chicago screws as this allows for the addition of a firesteel and or sharpening stone at a later date.

I could not decide between dangler or normal belt loop so decided to add both.

Very nice! I've been looking for a long time for a lefty sheath for my Buck 119, which is my hunting knife. Never found one, but I might try my hand at making one myself.

If you do I recommend the Chicago screws as they remove most of the needle work.

Nice.

I have the same issue of almost no knives being available with a left handed sheath. $:-\$

I did experiment once with doing moulded leather, works fine and I'm happy enough with the result for my own use. Not sure anyone would want to pay me for it though.
