alackofcolor Report post Posted July 28, 2014 The third thing I've made out of leather: a pig skin lined sheath of my own design to protect my chef's knife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtclod Report post Posted July 28, 2014 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alackofcolor Report post Posted July 28, 2014 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alackofcolor Report post Posted July 28, 2014 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
