Not to bad. Did you burnish it when it was still wet? When I do a knife wet mold I i wrap my knife in then plastic, wet my leather, then staple my leather to a board and work the leather over and over with a spoon and molding tool. I always let it dry at least a day before I build the rest of the sheath. Oh, and how do you like the RAT II? I am a balisong guy, but I've been wanting a nice folder for my EDC. Good job, bro.
