same old chisel blank but shorter and more functions compared to the earlier one. have incorporated a can opener, 5mm flat screwdriver, 2mm flat screwdriver and a 5mm spanner bit.

have been trying to design a sheath with good retention. anything designed with leather gets too bulky. was wondering if anyone had an old/unused kydex sheath that they could spare.
Warning: will not come back to you the same way it was sent. it would be sacrificed in the altar of experimentation :mrgreen: but you will get something else in return :wink:

Bravo Marthandan,
You are scaling heights with every project bro. Wish I had a dozen kydex sheaths. But have none :(

:cheers:

Martha,
What great work! Your efforts are truly inspiring.

Not that there is anything wrong with it the way it is now but may I make a suggestion to improve the utility of your little knife. It might not be easy to implement depending on the tools you have available to you.
If one of the holes in the handle could be made into a hex shape to fit a standard screwdriver bit, you could sew loops (or a small pocket) into the sheath to hold a phillips and a flathead bit.
