It is best to have the knife. Or a well replicated model of the knife to make a well fitted sheath.

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.

Problem using a TandyPro Deluxe Leather Splitter
DieselTech replied to Coloradoguy's topic in How Do I Do That?
@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.
-
Nice work. Looks great to me. What choice of leather did you use?
-
Nice work! Looks great.
-
The needle might be deflecting/flexing & is hitting the side of the throat plate. But usually when this happens it shatters the needle.
-
Nice work. It looks great. Like your 2 tone dye work.
-
Nice work. Have you thought about making a sheath similar to that, but adding a steel spring belt clip?
-
Looks great! Nice work.

What leather do I use for necklaces
DieselTech replied to TacticalHeritage's topic in How Do I Do That?
I would say kangaroo lace would be a good choice. As it is strong & don't stretch much. -
Nice work. That is going to patina up real nice.. I can see spots it is already taking ahold.

Nice work! Them are very classy looking. Love that stitch work.
