Thanks!

Here's a couple more sheaths off the bench rolled liners on both. The flap one has oil tan as a liner on the flap. The red leather liner is a mystery but maybe deer. The other is brown deer skin. Both used wicket craig dyed skirting. Inlay was out of a scrap bag of snake skins etc. Clearly dyed. Open to thoughts as always Ross

@YinTx Shown in my hand for a concept of size. Thanks Az. Very encouraging!

Thanks. So far the snake skin flexes fine. No belt loop on this one. It's a small knife so it's really just a pouch to slide in your pocket. It's only like 2 inches wide and a little more high. Ross

thanks. I didn't think about the stamp that way but now u mention it I agree. Thanks

Nice looking work. Perhaps you are being a tad to hard on yourself again? I think it came put very well especially since it's so small Ross

With a big tip of my cap to Paul Long for his great videos on sheath making. I watched his pocket knife tutorial today and decided to try and make a pocket pouch sheath for this single blade Case Mfg knife. Wicket and Craig dyed skirting, red liner might be deer. Snake skin on flap too. Was matching the knife scales with the snake skin. Geometric stamps still need more practice got off a little but looks ok and it's just for me so I can live with it. Machine stitched on a 111w155 singer I find small things more challenging but this one wasn't too bad. Open to constructive criticism as always. Ross

Yep I quit again! Beautiful work very precise. I better go back to practicing now. So clean looking too high end top notch

Very kind Bert Thank you. I couldnt agree more about making things that work. Did I get fancy yes I did cause it made me happy. But function is way more important in my opinion on something like this, it's a tool first and must function so we can make things.

Clean work both the knives and the leather. I can only hope to obtain this level someday. Keep going I can only imagine 10 years down the road what u can build. Best Ross

Appreciated Frodo! Thanks battle I actually agree toxo . I usually do go under but figured why not try something different. It does fit the hand surprisingly well. Thanks

Thanks gents

The carving looks great to me. I also agree a heavier leather to me is easier to carve and gives more detail. The whole.package is very nice. As always the hand stitching is beautiful. Wish I had your patience Ross

Thanks Yin. I like that thought where the knife sheath compliments the knife is some way via shape and stamping. I did stamp the black part to kinda match the handle or at least the round part and the shape of the sheath to mirror the handle in some respect. The sheath is the first thing on a knife you see usually. So I want it to be aesthetically pleasing and compliment the knife and in some way show it off. Hope that makes sense Ross

Thanks! Yep for sure in that flint striker patch knife world!

The clamp i used 4 oince leather. I just grabbed what seemed right from the scrap bin. I can always add to it or take it off and use smaller if needed. So far it seems good. Yes the dimples is a lined pear shader. I didnt think about the fact it mirrored the hammer marks but I like that thought. The edge around the dimples on the front I think is actually for making trees not I liked the look. So the gaps are where the leather is open for the belt tongs through. I round braided the front leaving me with a spot on the back open. I just did a simple cross pattern with the lace to fi ish it up. I probably could have done round braid but I was being lazy and wasn't sure how to start and finish it. Kinda bugs me Ross

I forged this hay rake tine into a knife a while back and decided it needed a sheath. Guess I got a bit carried away. Leather is Wicket and Craig dyed skirting. Lining is deer skin in yellow. Round braid for lacing. Lace is just imperial lace from Tandy. Got to use the stitching pony I made which was nice. As always looking to improve so comment away.

So I decided to lace a knife sheath tonight. I chose round braid. I found the ability to pivot the clamp to be nice. Didnt need it much but a few times it made an area easier to see and work on, the spring so far keep enough tension on it so it only pivots when I move it. Also I am real glad i added the cushion i sat for a long time lacing and it was comfy.

Thanks Yin. Lol guilty type A here for sure. Course it did take me forever to get around to building the pony itself

Scout mom is on to so.wrhing there I think. It is comfy and that was my main goal. Thanks for the fun and nice thoughts Ross

Thank you, its gonna be fun to use. Lol drink holder might just complete it hahaha

I decided to add a cushion. So dug around the shop and came up with this as an add on, much more comfy now.

Thanks carl

First off Thanks. I happen to have a circle die and a clicker press so that makes it easier. I have used a circle template made of thick I think acrylic and an exacto which works ok but u have to be careful not to cut the template and stay on track. As far as the lacing its not.too bad to use a lacing chisel to go around it. You can always use a single point one too if needed. I was able to use a four prong one for the moose and a slanted three on the rabbit.

Last year I had made up a couple coasters similar to this. The back side had a brand mark and the front I carved with a craft aid wildlife template animal. Since I just made a stitching pony I figured I should make and finish the set. Having 2 more brand marks. I choose a. Rabbit and moose head to carve, dyed them and then laced the black lace double loop and brown lace round braid. Always open to improvements
