    Thanks for your comments. I forgot to say that I tried to copy the design from a picture a friend sent me from a forum, so I can't claim the design was mine. It did take a lot of time to get the shape right and to figure out the sequence of the steps to take to make it. Its hand sewn and dyed with Fiebings oil dye. Next I'd like to make a sheath for my Ka Bar US Army fighting knife.

    Here is my 2nd knife sheath, its for a Ka-Bar BK-2.

    That's fantastic. I really like the detail and colouring.

    Very nice work. May I ask roughly how long it took from start to finish?
  5. OdinUK
    Very nice, I bet that took a while to make!
  6. OdinUK
    Yes, but the dyes are airbrushed on. When I first started experimenting I did notice a slight change in shade where the latex had been, so now I apply the latex to the whole area being masked so that if there is a change in shade it will be uniform over the whole area. I just paint the liquid latex on with a brush, a small one for small detail or near edges and a larger one for the bigger areas.

    I use liquid latex without problems.

    As far as I know, water should not be used with Fiebings dyes because they are not water based. Some folk use isopropyl alcohol but I use denatured alcohol. I have not used the white latex, in fact this is the first I hear about it so will look it up.

    That's absolutely amazing! Great work!

    Ah ok, that's a good idea. Thanks for that. I was considering using leather as a lining but could try suede so I don't have to dye the inside.
  14. OdinUK
    Very nice. Does it have a lining? In fact, do dog collars have to have a lining or is it fine without?
  15. OdinUK
    Brilliant work! Nice lining with the decorative cuts, and I like the white stitching on the black leather. It looks great.

    I like the design and tooling. Did you use a resist on un-dyed leather on the skull? What finish did you use? It looks quite natural.
  17. OdinUK
    It looks good and well made. Nicely finished.
  18. OdinUK
    Very nice work! I like it.

    Here is my first attempt at a knife sheath. Its a double sheath to take two Butterfly Knives as used in Wing Chun Kung Fu. It's hand sewn through five layers of veg tan leather (two welts). I used Fiebings Oil dyes and finished with Carnauba Cream and then Aussie wax. Edges were smoothed and burnished. The Chinese characters are an old, traditional font and translate to WIng Chun (one of my other passions).
