c2369zulu Report post Posted September 28, 2023 A little laser cut project I recently completed for one of my EDC knives. It is really tight even after wet mold, so I will likely go back and adjust the throat a little..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ArkieNewbie Report post Posted September 28, 2023 Love the design and your stitching looks really good! Where did you get that pocket clip? That's a really cool design! I love my lasers for cutting out patterns! The exactness and repeatability can't be beat! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I agree 100% with you on cutting out patterns and stitching holes now (when the settings are right, lol). At first I did not really like the larger stitch holes, but they are growing on me, and make stitching so much easier. Still a lot of challenges to deal with like the singed edges, smell and soot getting on stitching thread, but I'll still take it...... The clip is an Ulti-Clip Slim 3.3....

MarshalWill Report post Posted September 28, 2023 That's a mighty good sheath design. Clean, functional, classy. I also like that clip. It looks like it is reversible for left or right wear. Is that correct? It also looks like it would work good in a boot. So where did you get that clip? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mablung Report post Posted September 29, 2023 That is a really sharp design. Do you mind if I riff off it for a pocket sheath I'm probably going to redo? I did this one for a small fixed blade I pocket carry but need to make a few adjustments. I'd love to lift some of your design choices. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bert03241 Report post Posted October 16, 2023 Good looking shealth. I tried having the laser cut the holes. I got so many comment about the large holes I went back to using the stitching chisels . I have the laser cut a line where my holes will be then punch out with the chisel. This embeds the thread just a little and helps with wear on the threads.

This embeds the thread just a little and helps with wear on the threads. If you are using a Diode laser the holes would be larger. My CO2 Omtech can cut/burn some mighty small holes. Smell on cut leather can be minimized by using "Ozium" spray. Don't breath the spray. When I use it I spray in the shop and leave for 10 or 15 minutes. Makes the shop smell good. lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bert03241 Report post Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) Ferg I have a 60 watt Rabbit co2, sure I could make smaller holes but then you still have the black soot getting the thread and black when sewing. I just find the chisels make much cleaner and neater holes Edited October 18, 2023 by Bert03241 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
