I haven't done a knife sheath with a clip but I have done holsters with belt clips. I just attach the clip to a separate piece of leather and attach it to the holster. Just be sure to recess the stitches on the inside.

Lookin' forward to seein' what ya come up with. Whenever I get new tools, I wonder how I ever got along without it. On my holsters, I either design them with a void for the back of the snap or I'll stitch a separate piece on the front. Don't give up on the toolin', It does take lotsa practice.

That being said, all my holsters have covered triggers unless otherwise specified.

That's some nice stuff there.

That's really nice.

That's some beautiful work there.

With a strap across the hammer on a single action revolver, the chances are that it'd be pretty much impossible to have a negligent discharge. Exposed trigger holsters go way back. The most popular being the "Threepersons" design. I would've cut the front down a little lower to get a better fit on the retention strap. The stamping does seem to go a bit wonky around the concho area. Can't really tell that much from the pictures. Is that a Tandy holster kit? That'd explain the big round stitch holes.

When I make pocket holsters, they're rough side out. Helps to keep them in the pocket during the draw. This fellow wanted a coupla bullet loops on his.

Oops, still looks nice though.

Thanks, didya get those cuff cases done? BTW, the fellow I made the pouch for picked it up today. He really liked it. In fact, he put it on and admired it in a mirror.

You done a dead cow proud. Beautiful work.

Looks like your ring's on too tight.

Keep working at it. You'll get there. On the left's my first attempt. On the right's after lotsa practice.

I don't remember where I got this, probably a flea market or a yard sale or something. I've been using it for years to flatten my stitches. It's German made and as a bonus it has a bottle opener and cork screw.

The holsters, belts, knife sheaths and ammo carriers are fun to make but it's nice to do something a bit different now and then. This picture makes it look like the flap flares out. It doesn't, just looks that way. I made a wooden block from a tracing of the phone for molding the leather I'm planning on making something similar for one of my cameras.

Really nice.

Very nice, looks really good.

I hand stitch everything. I don't own nor do I desire to own a machine. Hand stitching a belt's not particularly difficult, just tedious. I'll put something on the tv, get a beer, sit back and get to stitching. It's not always done in one sitting either. I'll set a goal, stitch for a while then take a break.

Nice lookin' holster.

In think it's a very nice sheath. Nice edges.

I don't often mold leather but it just so happens that I'm working on a molded leather pouch. The video series so far. Still more work to do. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQtTNBOy6Ky_wFZb3Bccf60Wp6Rq-3r6d

Thanks, just takes lotsa patience and practice.

I made this'n for a fellow to use as a working belt. It's 2 1/2" wide and made of a single layer of 14 ounce leather.

A jockstrap knife sheath with a rawhide inlay? I love it, brilliant.
