When you are wet forming a knife sheath, can you dye it and Tan Kote it first, before wetting? Thanks

I'd like in also.

Thanks for the pointers guys, much appreciated.

I am happy with the way it turned out, but the knife is a little harder to pull out then I would like. I wet formed it then baked it in the oven. I did have a spacer in it, but, how can I now get the knife a bit loser in there?

Anyone that can make one of these in an hour is a much better man then me.

Hi all I am able to put a good edge on my knives using sand paper (emery cloth), and finishing with a strop, but looking for a faster (easier) way and thinking of buying a buffing wheel, wondering if this is a good idea, and if people here use one to put or keep that razor edge on their knives? Thanks

I like a neck knife, and you did a very nice job there. Gives me some ideas. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the advice, and taking the time to respond, much appreciated. Flask

My favourite belt is an 1 1/2" leather belt, I have been wearing it almost daily for 20 years or more. After so long I guess you may be able to picture what it looks like. I am wondering how I can restore it to make it look closer to what it looked like when I bought it. What about taking a sanding block to it and sanding it down to the original leather and starting all over? Is there some kind of chemical that I could wipe on it that would clean it? Thanks for any help and suggestions. Flask

Thanks for the reply guys, all very helpful, I do appreciate it. Flask
