Thanks all for the replies. The welt is allready glued. I was thinking stitching the top right 1/3 red, the bottom 1/3 white, the top left 1/3 blue. Any opinions? Jim

thanks, i will practice tomorrow. time for this old man to go to bed. jim

electrathon, sorry but i don't quite understand. used to single color stitching. have done some double stitched. fun keeping them lined up! jim hamer hamer knives

thanks for the reply, cheryl, i'm a 69 year old knife maker and will have to get my grandson or granddaughter to show me how to to download the pictures to this site (after christmas, unless we can be sneaky). it will be ambidextrous, non pouch. left for dress, right for work, as cross is on one side only. i was thinking of red 1/3 white 1/3 blue 1/3. three stitch lines could make it rather bulky. the blue is tandy thread. all i could find. a good looking knife if i can toot my own wistle. will post pictures when i learn how. can't figure how much welt three parallel lines will take. thanks for your advice, jim hamer hamer knives

good evening everyone, i have just made my son a a damascus knife with his firemans cross schrimshawed on the scale (he is an emt, fireman). it has ivory scales with red, white, & blue spacers. i want to stitch the sheath in red,white,&blue. any help would be appreciated. also what color stain would make the blue stand out. thanks all, jim hamer
