Thanks for the great info folks, I'll keep you posted as I have the conversion with this bar tender. I'll make sure to explain that is a stab "resistant" vest. Thanks again for all your help.

Thanks Spinner, this guy is a bartender and in no way associated with a 1% club. He wants to wear under a jacket. I checked out the link and was wondering if you knew what information the form asks for that they send to to you to fill out prior to being able to purchase the kelvar? What would you think about waxing the leather to toughen it up?

Hello all I had a guy call me up and ask if i could make him a knife/stab proof vest. I checked out Tandy and they have some "Armour leather" but I think I would need a chainsaw to cut it. So my questions....Has anyone ever heard or made something like this? Does anyone have some ideas on the thickness of leather that would be needed to stop a knife attack???? Or should I just stay away from anyone asking for a stab proof vest? HaHa Thanks for your time and input in advance.

Thanks Art i give your method a try next time. Also you mentioned reducing the dye with DEA. What is DEA I'm still alittle green at this leather stuff, but I love it!

Any pictures of the sheath?

Hello all, I used a apirit dye for the first time and I think I really screwed it up, here is what happen and I would love some feedback on what I did wrong. Dye was Fiebing's Navy Blue. I was making a key fob and when I applyied the dye with a dauber the color turned out a shiny purple. I think I applyied to much dye????? After I ruined the piece i tryed using a scrap piece of leather and just barely applied the dye and it was in fact blue. After the dye dried on the key fob I noticed that when I bent the leather it cracked really bad. Any help would be great thanks in advance

Looks awesome! I'm new to leather working and I love the edge of the sheaths. Is there a name of that type of style of edge, is so would you let me know? Thank you
