Second knife sheath: Couldn't leave well enough alone

[YinTx]

Still formed, and as clean as I could make the aesthetics.  Lined on the outer shell to protect the knife from the snap hardware, and a flap closure for extra security and protection.  Should probably use a line 24 snap next time, but otherwise I think it came out ok.  The lining added some nice rigidity to the top shell.  Realized after the photos that I hadn't tapped down the stitching, which I have now.  This was even more fidgety to make than the previous, as I had to ensure the snap was centered and the lining stitching was centered etc., but it all worked out well enough I hope.

looks good, I agree its simple but not so simple to do.

? do you bevel the edges?

Thanks, this post had crickets so I was wondering if anyone was able to see it!

The edges are beveled, sanded, dyed and burnished.  It is not a heavy bevel, I think I used a size 0 or 1 on it.

Thanks, and if you are referring to the knife, I agree, but it was free and I am using it to form the sheaths, so wasn't too worried!  Not very photogenic tho unless you like that patina thing... I think it was worked over as a hammer in a past life.
