looking for a wider edge braid than the usual round edge or mexican edge braid

[patricweill]

Hello all, I am stuck , I have been looking for a wider edge braid than the usual round edge or mexican edge braid but I have not found anything I have to lace around a knife sheath that is almost 2 cm thick ( I think about 3/4 inch?) and I like to ise 3 mm kangaroo lace

thanks

Wow that must be one honkin knife. My suggestion would be this. If you bevel and round over the edges of the sheath, a round braid or mexican will look great especially with that 1/8" lace. You can also add a piece of leather around the edge to help with the curvature if you already made your holes.

I don't know if this will help, but there's a nice thread on basketweave lacing under the sewing forum here.
