Members lcmattson Posted January 6, 2014 Members Report Posted January 6, 2014 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! Quote
electrathon Posted January 6, 2014 Report Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) 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. Aaron Edited January 6, 2014 by electrathon Quote
