DieselTech

Yeah I got 1 of the vevor's about a year ago. It does everything i need it to do. I also had some custom dies made by weaver & i highly recommend them if ever looking for cutter dies.

Try going over the stitches with a polished leather hammer. Or a polished bone folder.

@Coloradoguy I recommend buying a second blade for your splitter, then you got a blade that can be sent out to be sharpened & you won't be without a splitter blade while 1 is being sharpened.

I think your blade is not quite sharp enough. Plus if the blade is dull & you are taking a big bite/cut you are actually stretching the belt some & resulting thinner/thicker cuts on the sides of the belt.

Welcome to the group. Nice work. It looks great!

Ah! I think i finally spied it. I think if you antique it, then top coat it. It will no longer be visible.

Lol is this a joke? Cause I am not seeing the bad spot you mentioned. BTW that looks great! Nice work.

If adapters are not available. Then talk with a machinist to make you adapters for whatever brand dies you got or want.

That looks great. I need to make 1 similar, been thinking about buying me a Buck 112 automatic. I might do a bit of wet molding on that sheath/sleeve if I do end up with a Buck 112 auto.

Nice work. They look great.

What kind & brand of dye did you try to apply to it?

I would remove old ripped piece or not, then sew a piece of leather folded around the front & back, then use a oblong punch & punch a slot in it. Then I would sew around the oblong hole you punched thru it to reinforce it all.

See if "Y-Knot Lace" stocks it.

It all depends on what leather you are using. Temperature depends on leather choice.

Nice work. Looks good.
