Rossr Report post Posted April 19, 2022 Been messing around making some Buck 110 folding knife pancake sheaths. The angled one I carved a feather and the straight one just some stamping. I played a a bit with color on the stamped one. Kind antique but not quite. Anyway open to thoughts as always. Thanks Ross Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PastorBob Report post Posted April 19, 2022 Those look fantastic! Love the color. Stitching looks on point. When I back stitch at the end of a run, I will pull the first stitching really tight so the back stitch over the top will lay down a bit more and not be as obvious. Make sure to burnish those belt slots too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I stitched these on a needle awl campbell randall sewing machine and I struggle with back stitching with it. If you go through the same hole you can cut the stitch with the awl. So I try to go close or just next to it. I'm really not sure the best practice there. I also have left the tails and then hand back stitched which results in a better result but adds time . Good point ok burnishing the slots as I did not do that, thinking I can do that with a dowl rod maybe or the pointed end of an antler. I use a deer antler on my bench to burnish at times. Good thoughts and thanks for that! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They came out great @Rossr! Wanted to ask if you all have some tips for burnishing a nice edge together inside those belt slots. I haven't had to burnish a space that tight yet. Thanks in advance.

I haven't had to burnish a space that tight yet. Rub it down with a little tokonole or Tragacanth Gum. Wrap a piece of canvas around your boning tool and rub away. Alternately, I have several brass punches that I use with or without the canvas. It always gives me good results. Good luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rossr Report post Posted May 23, 2022 I also use the tip of a deer antler seems to help. Along with saddle soap or a bunch of other possible things like gum tragacanth etc etc. Best I can say is try stuff. There's lots of ways and everyone finds a method they like best Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
