Tip Of A Dagger Sheath

Recommended Posts

I am working on some practice pieces, and I was given a straight dagger to make a sheath for. I found some images online of dagger sheaths that have the style that I am looking for, but I am unsure on how to achieve the form. I know how to wet mold, but how dose one get the pointed end like on these sheaths?

Thanks!

They are done by making the sheath with a fold line on one side and a stitch seam down one side of the blade. Wet the leather, tape up the blade and push the knife into the sheath a 1/4 tirn off. Massage the leather as it shapes over the blade.
