Members krappstein Posted November 2, 2014 Members Report Posted November 2, 2014 A friction pancake sheath for a Leatherman Blast. Made of 2,5 mm veg tan, dyed with vinegaroon and hand stuffed with a mix of tallow, beeswax and extra virgin olive oil. Front piece was moulded on the multitool and it's my first attempt at boning. It has great retention. I tried turning it upside down and shaking it, won't come off even though it's quite heavy (6,9 oz. / 196 g). On the belt. Also, a couple pictures of the process. Had to scrap that one. The bottom was too narrow. Cheers Quote
Jaymack Posted November 2, 2014 Report Posted November 2, 2014 Really nice! That leatherman won't ever fall out of it's sheath. Quote
Members stu925 Posted November 3, 2014 Members Report Posted November 3, 2014 Looks great, I like the look of a friction fits sheath but I'd be paranoid about it all the time. I'd keep reaching around to make sure it was still there even though I know it would never come out. Nice work, Stu Quote

Members krappstein Posted November 4, 2014 Author Members Report Posted November 4, 2014 Same here, Stu, but I think with this one I'm overcoming that feeling. Thank you all. Juan Quote

I think I want to make myself one. Good work ! _____________ Wild Bill46 Quote

Members krappstein Posted November 5, 2014 Author Members Report Posted November 5, 2014 Very nice Juan. That is exactly what I want to learn to do. Then get to it! This one was made with very modest tools and over the course of a couple afternoons.

Good work ! _____________ Wild Bill46 Thank you. I've been carrying it for a few days and it turned out really comfortable. If you make that one be sure to post a couple pictures. very nice, good edge work and nice stitch line. Thanks. I've been struggling for a while to get decent edges. My impatience gets in the way most of the time. Quote
Members Ol Bill Posted November 6, 2014 Members Report Posted November 6, 2014 I'm working on it. Thanks for sharing. Quote
