  1. Nice work. They both look great. Top notch!
  2. It is best to have the knife. Or a well replicated model of the knife to make a well fitted sheath.
  3. 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.
  4. Try going over the stitches with a polished leather hammer. Or a polished bone folder.
  5. @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.
  6. 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.
  7. Welcome to the group. Nice work. It looks great!
  8. Ah! I think i finally spied it. I think if you antique it, then top coat it. It will no longer be visible.
  9. Lol is this a joke? Cause I am not seeing the bad spot you mentioned. BTW that looks great! Nice work.
  10. If adapters are not available. Then talk with a machinist to make you adapters for whatever brand dies you got or want.
  11. 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.
  12. Nice work. They look great.
  13. What kind & brand of dye did you try to apply to it?
  14. 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.

    Lace

    See if "Y-Knot Lace" stocks it.
  16. It all depends on what leather you are using. Temperature depends on leather choice.
  17. Nice work. Looks good.
  18. Nice work. Looks great to me. What choice of leather did you use?
  19. Nice work! Looks great.
  20. The needle might be deflecting/flexing & is hitting the side of the throat plate. But usually when this happens it shatters the needle.
  21. Nice work. It looks great. Like your 2 tone dye work.
  22. Nice work. Have you thought about making a sheath similar to that, but adding a steel spring belt clip?
  23. I would say kangaroo lace would be a good choice. As it is strong & don't stretch much.
  24. Nice work. That is going to patina up real nice.. I can see spots it is already taking ahold.
