Yep you are right, I oil with a good quality neetsfoot oil and set in the sun to acheive an even color (reapply if necessary) and give everything a double coat of Febings Harness Dressing. The basket stamp is a medium Barry King but it looks longer because it is stamped at an angle of approx/30 degrees. Hope this helps -
Greetings all, Those pictured here come from one of my more popular patterns. Both have Wickett&Craig 7/8oz tooling leather and both have been treated to Barry King stamping. Enjoy

Forming A Welt With Rolled Edges?
Brad Johnson replied to iamasmith's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
I am a smith, Yes could you make a sheath with rolled edges, sure, it would be an ugly sheath. I would agree with Ellen part of building a sheath is how it looks. Building a nice sheath with a welt is easy and does not take up that much leather. -

RWP, The only secret in knifemaking is "There is No Secret", I have found the majority of knifemakers will help you to improve your work. When you are ready to make those first knives just ask and I will help if I can with advice and tips. Brad

RWP, I round and burnish the edges of my knives so it may appear that they are not together. Brad
