AEBL Posted July 7 Report Posted July 7 I have an order for a knife sheath, pancake style, for a knife that the customer provided for me to use in custom fitting. I have made sheaths for things, and I know that a welt is a good thing to protect the stitches. I've found a few patterns for pancake style sheaths, but they usually seem to be two pieces of leather glued together and stitched ... with no welt. I was thinking three layers? the middle layer is the welt? Quote

CFM chuck123wapati Posted July 7 CFM Report Posted July 7 pancakes are mostly used for folding knives, so dont need a welt. For a non folder make your welt thinner than the blade so there is some tension built in.

I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!
AEBL Posted July 7 Author Report Posted July 7 Ok - I will think about this for a bit. If I remember, I'll post pictures of what I wind up doing for constructive criticism Quote
