Thanks Ken. I live in Social Circle which is off of I-20 out past Conyers and Covington. Tifton is 3 hours away or so.

Thank you...hoping to learn a lot from you guys. I've perused the photos and there is some pretty awesome work here. I was just interested in knife sheaths and maybe a couple of holsters but it looks like I'll probably be trying a lot of other stuff too.

Hello everyone, I've just started making sheaths for my knives and would like to learn how other folks make them. I've not had anyone mentor me but I have looked at some on-line tutorials on YouTube and looked at some suggestions on different websites. Right now, I'm buying everything from Tandy leather....the leather, a few different stamps, etc. I've made probably a dozen or so sheaths but only really know how to make one style...what I've heard referred to as "friction sheaths" where the tightness of the sheath holds the knife in. I just recently finished my 1st sheath with a snake skin inlay and was pleased with it but when you look at it compared to sheaths made by real leather guys there's quite a difference. I hope to learn as much as I can here and look forward to everyone's critiques and input. Any help would be sincerely appreciated. Thank you, Mark
