Here is an order for 4 sheaths. 212, 119, 110, 112. All Buck knives. He wanted blue so he got blue.

I like the conchos. Just this morning I was looking through my stash of Sacagawea Dollars. No worries, not a single one is a Kellogg. 

Bought some berry conchos off of Esty and I couldn't be more Pee'd off. They're cast. Cast from aluminum or pot metal. There went $30 bucks I could have burned.

Looks like I'll dome four Sacagawea Dollars. Soldiering a brass Chicago screw on the back. 

 

Anyway, nice job of the psychedelic lizard skin. I'm sure they'll be happy in many ways.

I am curious how you did that. I assume the lizard is glued to a vegetable tanned backing. For the two that are wet-formed, did you do the wet-forming with the lizard attached?

No, Lizard was glued on after the wet forming was dry. The sheath has 3 layers  inside soft goat skin, then wet formed leather, outside lizard skin on the folding knife sheaths. It requires that you make special forms to press the goat skin and lizard to the formed leather.

This shows the soft leather inside the sheath. it is a complete lining inside  no metal contact with the knife.

I learned the hard way. You don't stretch lizard or snake. Ever seen a video of a snake swallowing something? Notice how much the skin can stretch. 

Stretching reptile leather pulls the scales apart. Making it look sub par. 

 

My lesson was learned on hat bands and foot long baby rattlesnakes. You want the scales to look tight and close. Not expanded out. Over stretched.
