Knife Sheath For Chef's Knife

[alackofcolor]

The third thing I've made out of leather: a pig skin lined sheath of my own design to protect my chef's knife.

Nice job ! I would be careful putting the knife in and it cutting the thread sense it doesn't look like to put a welt in.

The sheath is three layers of leather, with the middle layer cut out to the shape of the knife, so there's a little less than a quarter inch of leather between the blade and the stitch.

Looks like the knife is sharp. Bandaid and all. :-) nice

Haha, actually the band-aid was due to another project. I was using a Japanese pricking iron to make diamond holes for stitching and was having trouble getting it out of the leather, so I tugged on it pretty hard and it jump out of the leather and the edge of the pricking iron sliced my index finger open. And then two days later I jabbed an X-acto knife into the tip. So it was a tough week for that finger.

I like it very much! Very nice clean & functional design.

Nice job. Stitches are all nice and even. Sheath look really nice.
