You're saying in the strap that goes over the Sam brown stud? That would make a difference over time. Thanks!

Thanks. That is correct. I didn't stitch all the way to allow clearance for the width. I didn't make a welt for this as I just gave another 1/8 in to allow for space from blade to the stitching. I will in the future though. Thank you again for your reply!

I used a wooden hand burnisher with the leather damp and then dabbed some carnauba wax on the bottom edges where the blade goes. I didn't finish the top at all. IDK why. lol rookie mistake.

Made this for a friend's Bowie knife that is a Western brand. he got it a a garage sale for cheap and had no sheath for it. Did the stitching with Boss and the finish is a homemade concoction with carnauba wax on the edge for burnishing. Please criticize as I want to improve my craft.
