AMMO Report post Posted February 9, 2012 So I just made a knife sheath and my knife has been cutting the stitches when I pull it out of the sheath. What's the best way to keep this from happening? Will using cement while stitching fix the problem? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eaglestroker Report post Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) Use a center welt. A piece of leather with space for the blade cut out, so the blade never contacts the stitching. Edited February 9, 2012 by Eaglestroker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwinOaks Report post Posted February 9, 2012 Agreed 100%. I often take the 'scraps' from projects and cut welt strips from them. Tip: Cut your welts larger than you think you'll need so you can trim the edge down evenly. Nothing ruins a nice edge like a gap where the welt is.
