alright guys so i received my squarehead in he mail for this years calendar contest. awesome little knife. i want to wear this as a neck knife similar to the dog tag but the big slot makes that hard because it makes it hang at a diagonal which isnt very comfy. so my first attempt i took some of my 80 lb braided fishing line wrapped it around the slot and tied in a little split ring in the middle. this worked but i didnt really like how it looked.
so today while sitting around i noticed a few pieces of scrap leather sitting on the table (one of my moms hobbies and i like to mess around with it as well). and then an idea came to me, a neck sheath! so i grabbed some tools, the leather and this is what i ended up with.
now i just need to figure out a way to attatch a loop to it so i can hang it from a necklace or some paracord.
Looks great, I love the way the large spyder logo looks on there!
As for the hole/loop, I would also suggest a small grommet. They seem to work well with leather, and would definitely be strong enough to hold a split ring.
Heres an example of how I used a grommet with a leather lanyard.
Thanks everyone! Yeah ill probably end up putting a grommet in there if I can find one. I know I have a bunch of snaps and little decorative things but not sure about grommets.

Man I havnt been out in a while. Just started my new job so I'll be able to afford some fishing trips now. I'm just hoping I'll be able to catch part of the fall mullet run when I do make it out. Tunas and swords, sounds like a blast.
Yea so much fun 3 days in the hudson canyon all standup fishing.its on a 125 foot boat you get a bunk and 2 meals a day.limit to 13 people to many people means to many tangles.if tuna and sword fishing sux we break out the electric reals and go tile fishing in 2000 feet of water.great eating
That sounds like a blast. I want to go out on a deep sea charter but they like to pack as many people as they possibly can on the boat. I'll see them going out and people are like shoulder to shoulder. I actually just got invited to go snook fishing tomorrow. Can't wait for that, just hope the weather holds out.
