Sona Report post Posted October 26, 2014 all in all really nice. I just don´t like the stitching. I´d use some thicker thread and maybe a thinnger awl, but that´s all. Besides that you did a really nice job! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Troy Burch Report post Posted October 27, 2014 theres nothing wrong with the stitching execpt the awl was turned the wrong angle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sona Report post Posted October 27, 2014 I am referring exspecially to the upper edge where you can see, that the awl is exceeding over the thread, the direction the awl is turned fits to the drection of the stitch. Don´t get me wrong, I don´t want to devaluate the sheath, not at all. It was just ment as a tip. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billybopp Report post Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) I have to agree, the design is really nice ... but the stitch holes are too big and not angled quite right. What type of awl are you using? If the awl has a lot of taper, it can make the "front side" holes quite a bit bigger than the "back side" holes are. For that reason, I prefer straight sided awls such as Seiwa, or ones with a very slight taper such as Vergez-Blanchard. Also, play attention to the awl angle .. It isn't easy around curves, but it will make a difference. Hope that helps! Bill Edited October 27, 2014 by billybopp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
