Latests sheath for latest knife

[Don101]

i like the sheath it has a nice flow in the edge design and it isnt easy to stitch through that amount of thickness and get all the stitches to match up on the back side which you mastersd very well, Don

Ray ban, thank you very much! No i havent tried the Leather Tonic before but have tried simuliar. I will probably go on to put more sheen on my sheaths in future so will use a neatlac or somthing. The reason I use snow seal once in awhile is its famous amoung old time hunters, guides and trappers for water protection on leather (boots) and its something a customer can put on thier sheaths time to time and not so much mess up or over soften as can happen with oil.

I know alot of sheath makers dip thier sheaths in melted beeswax/carnuba wax mixure , well you add mink oil and you got Sno Seal. I have even used johnsons floor paste with OK results, as its just carnuba wax and it dont darken.

BTW I seen your sheaths, very impressive!

Don, Thank you very much!

As you know Im a Bladesmith first but I do enjoy leatherwork and hope im getting better each time.

Wait till you see the spurs in working on though

ok, dont take this to heart, but you need to do a little work on lining up your lines on your basket weave. other than that, assembly and sewing and everything else is spot on.as for larger pictures, I love them. I want to be able to zoom in and see small details. so dont listen to the person that is being a critic, posative re-enforcement is whats needed, not cutting someone down. keep up the good work.

Thank you Duke,

I think we should listen to our critics closer then our friends. Critics can show quite quickly if they are talking out the south side of a north bound cow, If they arent, then it can be benificial to listen to someone of a SOUND mind. I can handle about anyone or anything so nothing gets to me much, I dont sweat em, but I appreciate it.

Im sure some of my lines arent perfect tho i think the curve of the sheath is making them look further off then they actually are. Its my stitching actually that I jacked up! LOL Its only second time I basket stamped though and no question room for improvment. Thanks for all your comments every bit helps :angel_not:
