Halitech Report post Posted November 12, 2014 If that's for a dog, I would not want to meet it in a dark alley if it was mad at me :/ Stitching and edges look pretty good though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Halitech Report post Posted November 12, 2014 I've never used a pricking iron, I have a stitching wheel that I use. Do you use anything like gumtrag or beeswax on your edges before rubbing them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the gafer Report post Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) i just dye my edge and dampen with water then burnish it with my sliker then use edge kote the wax i put on is an old sadlers blend i get from unicorn leather in the uk you just rub that all over then wipe off the rest simple as that tbh Edited November 12, 2014 by the gafer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snubbyfan Report post Posted November 14, 2014 Looks good, I used to use a stitching wheel but I feel that using a pricking iron works better for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snubbyfan Report post Posted November 14, 2014 I tried drilling stitch holes in a knife sheath once, once, I wasn't happy with how it looked. Yeah I got the stitch holes done faster, but it just didn't look right to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
