Pappys Leather Report post Posted April 29, 2014 I have not put fringe on a knife sheath yet and working on one I want add it. I had the sheath all ready to add the fringe but I think I have an issue. It looks like you have to make the sheath a little wider then normal to allow for the fringe. Is this correct?

camano ridge Report post Posted April 29, 2014 Pappy what style of sheath are you making, can you show us a picture? Is it just a veg tan sheath you are stitching fringe into the main seam, or is it a rawhide sheath? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dwight Report post Posted April 29, 2014 First off, . . . I cannot take personal credit for this really neat idea. Some time ago, . . . and at a suggestion of another , . . . I made a rig for cutting fringe, . . . and does it ever work well. I've done 2 pairs of mens chaps, one pair of girl's chaps, and one pair of ladies' chinks, . . . and am thoroughly sold that for me at least, . . . this is the way. It is piece of plexiglass with several lines made by scribe or scratch with a sharp pointed something or another. I would use the gusset piece at the knife edge, . . . leaving it long enough to fringe, . . . having it overlapped on both sides by the front/back piece, . . . but that is just my way of doing things. I have also used the front, . . . fringed it, . . . especially for a "native American" look. May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
