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

[the gafer]

its for my pup will soon be turning into a monster lol good old elbow grese and edge kote on the edges the stiching i use a priking iron give a nice clean stich

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?

[the gafer]

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

Looks good, I used to use a stitching wheel but I feel that using a pricking iron works better for me.

Thanks priking iron and awl all the way for now.i used to drill mine got nice clean stitching but the priking iron is much better I feel

[snubbyfan]

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.
