crazytailorlady Report post Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) Hey guys, I've been working hard on this the last few days and pretty satisfied with how it looks. I've never made a knife sheath before, this one is for a foldable knife (sorry for no pics) that I bought for my sister's upcoming 16th birthday and I wanted to make her a sheath to compliment it. Thick vegtan leather was light brown but I used homemade vinegaroon to blacken it. Stamped by homemade stamps, a little rough but hey a girl must start somewhere lol. I could have done this simpler but I wanted to go all out, it being for a special occasion and all. Edit: idk what went wrong with image upload image%3A8858 Edited August 21, 2022 by crazytailorlady Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlZilla Report post Posted August 21, 2022 I like it. Anybody can buy the same old boring tools and dyes that everybody else has and turn out more of the same old stuff. This took thought and creativity. Lucky sister you have! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hags Report post Posted August 22, 2022 I think you did great. I have a lot of tools now, but started much the same way. As you advance you will learn now to make things work for you and you will acquire tools as you go. I have been doing this for a few years now and still couldn't pass up the chance to do 2 knife sheathes in exchange for about 30 vintage stamping tools. Ma y are beyond repair, but some are very cool. Keep it up! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
