Afternoon project.

[RockRash]

I have been wanting to make a round knife sheath for a while now. I decided to try out some new stamps and airbrush I got for Christmas and I came up with this. 

 

[DieselTech]

Nice looking sheath! Love the tool work. 

May I ask, what brand is your leather knife? 

Thanks.

Nice work but who made it? the makers name has been photo cropped out.

Thanks. The knife is the small round knife makers leather supply sells. I'm no expert (this is my first round knife) and I know I need more time using it. This particular knife doesn't feel all that comfortable. This was the only knife I used for this project , I want to get proficient with it. If I could go back I'd order a larger knife. This one is so small ive ended up cutting myself a few times because my fingers are so close to end of the blade.

I did lol. I just do this as a hobby and my wife got me the makers mark for Christmas. It has my real name on it and call me paranoid ( I probably am over paranoid) I dont want my real name on a public forum.

I gotcha, nothing wrong with that in the world we live in today.

Looks good. I like the way it fits under the welt.

Thanks again.

Thank you. I have seen it done before and always liked the idea. I will say its very satisfying sliding it in the sheath and snapping the snap.

Diesel Tech,  it's a great knife, very sharp from makers. I'm sure my complaints are my lack of experience with it.

ETA: sorry I screwed up the quote.

Very nice!  ‘Sharp’ looking project!

[chuck123wapati]

nice work indeed!!!

Really nice work on the stamping ! I like the way you used the border stamps. The back looks every bit as nice as the front. Nice work!

[Doc Reaper]

I like the work, scared of all that blade

[MarshalWill]

That one's only 2-3/4" across, just the right size. Besides, those blades don't getcha much once you get used to them. Getting used to them can be a challenge, though...

Very nice job on the sheath. As for the blade size, I made a small round knife from a worn out half-round blade from my multi-tool (so it's about the same size as yours but a bit thinner) and I find it a nice size to use.

Went to order that knife this morning. Dang it! Wouldn't you know it was sold out. Sold out over night. Dang it.

It's a great size and knife. I just need more time behind it. I'm planning on using it a lot on my net few projects so I can get more comfortable with it.

Diesel Tech, keep checking back his inventory seems to be resupplied fairly quickly. I had the same thing happen a while back with his buck stitching chisels.

My therapist says "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that everyone isn't out to get you."
