Members Vikefan Posted October 18, 2009 Members Report Posted October 18, 2009 Just bought a stingray skin; looks cool and very durable. My question is; what is the most effective method for inlaying this into a project (knife sheath/holster)? Mainly hand-stitching leather projects at this time, drilling or punching holes in my leather. Please advise. Quote

This is what I've done so far, it is the front portion of a boot knife sheath, decided not to use the white part of the skin as I did feel it went with the design (curvature) of the sheath itself.
