[sylwek tyra]

Welcome

This is my first post in the group Leatherworker so I wanted to say hello. My interest is to create a leather sheaths, holsters or pouches for knives and a little of this work, I would like to present to you.

I invite you therefore to any discussion about them, any advice and assistance in improving skills. I am very pleased to be among so many excellent sheatmakers.

Let's some pics and have fun...

They all look very good. Great edges and I really like the two tone effect you get with the stamping.

The only thing I noticed that I would watch out for is on a couple of them the stitch lines are a little far away from the molded area. Over time this can allow the leather to get pretty loose on the sheath. Unless your glue holds up.

Hi Madmax22

Yes, stitch lines are a little far away from the molded area but not without a reason. Line of sewing was carry in order to properly grasp wide belt loop on back sheath. Of course glue is very strong so he won't let go.

Very nice! I especially like the contrast and texture you create with the stamping.

Very nice I will be trying to make a sheath for my folder. What weight leather did you use?

[sylwek tyra]

I use 2.5mm tickhness cow leather. It is ideal thickness for modeling of the leather such a things as folders sheaths.
