Does anyone know where I can get a template that will allow me to draw the sine wave pattern the you see on so many gun belts? I would like to try it on a belt or two but there is no way I'm gonna free hand it..... Thanks for the help

How do you guys keep natural leather clean while molding, tooling, burnshing etc? It seems that no matter what I try, I get sweat stains or stains from saddle soap or wax on my belts and holsters wich forces me to dye everything black to cover up te blemishes. How do you make a natural or Russett holster without any stains on it.....should I stain and seal the leather first and if so how am I going to case the leather before molding it.....everything I know about leatherwork I have learned from this forum and I wish to thank everyone for thier help.... Thank You Don

K-Bar Handle Diameter?
red3 replied to red3's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife Sheathes
that couldnt be more perfect,,,,,,thank you very much!!! -
Can someone give me the measurement of a KBar knife handle where the retention strap would go? A friend of mine asked me if I could replace the missing retention strap on his old leather K-Bar knife sheath. The problem is that he sent me the sheath without the knife and he lives out of state. I asked him if he could measure the handle for me and he was way too vague for me to trust his estimate....any help would be greatly appreciated....

Go to springfield leather and get a sheet of bontex..I just got a sheet and it is exactly what you need...just glue it in between the outer shell and the liner and you should be good to go....springfield is awesome to work with as well....
