Halitech Report post Posted January 30, 2015 stitching itself looks good other then getting a little close to the edge at the top left corner (current image orientation). Maybe try cutting and leveling your edges before you cut your stitching groove. Form looks good and the dye job looks good. Can't see much of the edge but what is showing looks nice and smooth. Is it just a pocket sheath or is there a belt loop on the back? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alan Tesla Report post Posted January 31, 2015 I really like the sheath everything is well done! I will agree that the stitches are close to the edge but for a first it is very well done. If I remember my Al Stohlman correctly on stitching, then the height of the leather combined is usually the distance from the edge you go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
