MASH

In the city there is a 2 1/2" limit, most surrounding areas restrict to 3" if they have an ordinance. I believe state law just says that if you use it in a crime it bumps it to a felony. Don't quote me on that though... Yes, there is a welt in there, I should have mentioned that. I am definitely noticing what you mean with the corners as I wear this one. I will definitely take more time and use some of these techniques for the stitching. My wording may have been off, I have done a few sheaths before just never like this or starting with unfinished leather. I had a ton of "scraps" that were pre dyed black and my edges were horrible. These were the past ones:

This is my first post on this forum. I got into the hobby of knifemaking a couple years ago and leatherwork has just sort of followed. I am still very much a rookie and thought I would throw this here for some constructive criticism. I have seen quite a bit of talent around this board and even noticed a couple of names I recognize so I look forward to hearing your comments. I have been wanting some new leather for my Farmhand for quite a while. I do love the knife but am not big on traditional vertical sheaths. I finally jumped in and tried this one. Few new techniques to me. This is my first time dealing with antiquing gel, which I had issues with. I always had pre dyed scraps before... First time trying to properly burnish edges rather than just using edge treatment, pretty happy with results... First time using a Sam Brown button, which I definitely am happy with... and first time using a liner, which turned out ok... Overall I really like it so far as a user. It rides high and tight on my belt which makes Chicagoans not overreact because they don't see it as long as I don't tuck in my shirt. The knife is super secure but can be drawn with either hand. It doesn't get in the way when getting in and out of cars and such. On to the pictures. Please feel free to throw out any constructive criticism. I am still very new with leather and learning a ton lately and made several mistakes that will not happen again.
