I was poking around someones site and I came across a few sheaths with a "indention" all the way around the inside of the sew line. How is it done? I'm also curious how he does that 2 tone effect in the other picture. It's pretty cool looking.post-53607-0-58322600-1411583446_thumb.jpost-53607-0-58322600-1411583446_thumb.jpost-53607-0-11722200-1411583471_thumb.j

My guess is it's his presser foot on his machine. You can see where he went outside his groove on the front near the bottom. But that is just a guess.

Can it be done without a machine? I would love to give it a whirl but I can't buy a machine right now. As it is I got to save for a burnisher...

Yea, looks like the stitching line on the very bottom is over extended, but what glockanator might be talking about is the indention line on the right side is just past where it should have stopped. I'm taking a guess.

Anyone else got any idea's on what made the indentation or the two tone color scheme?

To me that looks entirely machine, so I would guess some portion of the machine is leaving that when it punches through. Never having used one, no idea how or why this would happen. To make that pattern by hand you would need a highly modified wheel, or maybe repurpose some other industry marker. There seems to be half a dozen different types of star wheels out there from arts and crafts to mechanic tools. Each mark seems uniquely squared from the seam so I would rule out chisels stamps or similar. If it were me I would look at what star wheel type tools are available and maybe take a solid circular one and a dremel tool and make my own.

Something like this could be modified, courtesy of the screen repair industry.

I guess you could take a large nail and file and make a pattern you like and go about it that way.
