Members Doug_SA Posted 11 hours ago Members Report Posted 11 hours ago I am a sharpener, so I sharpen knives, but I also do some repair and refurbishing work. I recently picked up a hunting knife in a sheath to refurbish. The sheath is in need of some sewing. So, I am looking for a decent starter kit to do the work on this sheath. Can someone please recommend something and possibly where to purchase it? Quote

CFM chuck123wapati Posted 9 hours ago CFM Report Posted 9 hours ago You can buy a couple of harness needles and some tiger thread, or you can use a speedy stitcher. If the sheath is machine sewn, the speedy stitch will work fine. personally, if you're doing these repairs a lot then go with some john James harness needles an awl, both diamond and round, some tiger thread in various colors and sizes. also some contact cement to reglue, then of course the cleaning,conditioning and buffing supplies to make it shine.

I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!
