My next project is a little more ambitious.  I'm tired of waiting for a Rough Rider scout knife with white smooth bone handles so I'm swapping out the handles myself. 

Now  before anyone says anything, I know there is a right way and wrong way to do this. But  as usual, I'm doing it the "man cave" way.  (That is: improvise and adapt) 

I'm sure this would probably be easier with things like a jewelers saw to cut bone, and maybe a vise to hold things steady. But I'm guessing I' can make do with junk lying around the basement. (at least that will be my first attempt!  LOL) 

I've already popped the handles off my older red bone scout.  I bought a new one that I was going to use, but it had a different shield so I decided to experiment on the old one!  My amber jigged scout also has the bow-tie shield

Great project, Tobias, you really did the Woodsmans Pal, justice. I have only had my hands on a Pal, once, and found it bad to the bone.

Thanks Jan.

The lighter weight is a little more practical but the heavier Nylon will last longer. However, the poly-cotton cloth covering the nylon sheath acts a second skin and will extend the life of this sheath. I'm happy with the added knife and pocket. Really makes the sheath more functional.

Tobias,

Seems to me the lighter weight with velcro would better for practical use.  What began as a 5$ knock off is now a custom, sheath.  I am impressed with the thought process of putting the pocket big enough to carry necessary items.  When you go out in the woods or swamps pockets are essential, you never have enough.  GOOD WORK!
