At what stage did you do the tooling? If you did it before molding I'm very impressed because I don't see any distortion or stretching. And if you did it after molding I'm equally impressed because it looks nicely aligned going over the corners. Good job. And out of curiosity, what brand and type of stamp did you use? Thanks. I tooled it before molding, using the Dragon's Scale stamp from Sergey Neskromniy: https://leatherstampstools.com/regular-series/72-tool-for-leather-craft-stamp-62-dragons-scale-size-12x14-mm.html When I molded it I just laid the damp (not wet) leather over the knife and worked it down with the bone folder, being careful to not pull too hard. I also made release cuts around the bottom as I was going. I think that helped to minimize the stretching. Here's what it looked like while it was drying: /dwight Quote
Members SeaCitadel Posted January 4 Members Report Posted January 4 I'll remember that next time I have a molded piece to tool. I asked about the stamp because I also have a Sergey dragonscale, but a different model. Thought it looked similar! Quote
Members Bert03241 Posted January 5 Members Report Posted January 5 Beautiful job on the sheath. I just wish he had a better knife for it Quote
