TUFFENUFF Report post Posted July 2, 2015 This my first attempt at making a holster and carving it. I have made knife sheaths before for the knives I make. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Otto6294 Report post Posted July 2, 2015 I like the tooling a lot. I think if you would sand the welt side a bit to even out the border around the stitching and then burnish the edge, it would be even better. I'm new to this, but I have taught art for 25 years and have an eye for aesthetics. I want to see your knives and sheaths. I love knives. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halitech Report post Posted July 4, 2015 I agree with Otto, cut and then sand the edges so you get a more uniform edge then use a wing divider to get your stitches closer to the edge. They should be about 1/8" - 3/16" from the edge. Then once you have your stitching done, sand it lightly again and then burnish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
