stu925 Report post Posted December 30, 2015 I bought this Buck 119 off ebay for under $25 but the sheath looked like it had been run over by a truck. I kicked it around for a couple of days and decided I liked the idea of a bushcraft style sheath for this one. I wanted a one piece design but didn't want the flesh side of the leather showing so I skived down a piece of leather to cover the belt loop and laminated it on. After some time stitching and burnishing this what I came up with. I couldn't be happier with it. You guys tell me what you think. Stu Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wild Bill46 Report post Posted December 31, 2015 Fine looking craftsmanship ! I had a 118 that I just completed and gave to the customer, more wild than yours, but its on a bushcraft, frontier theme. ------- Wild Bill46 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snubbyfan Report post Posted January 1, 2016 In think it's a very nice sheath. Nice edges. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stu925 Report post Posted January 1, 2016 Thanks everyone for the comments. Actually snubbyfan, I owe you a thank you for your advice on the edges. I followed your edge burnishing method and those are my results. I actually added an extra step and hit it with some resolene after it was all done, I'm hoping it protects the edge a bit.

chapelstone Report post Posted January 28, 2016 What color dye did you use? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stu925 Report post Posted January 28, 2016 The dye is Fiebing's Dark Brown, I usually use their professional oil dyes but their regular leather dye was all I could get my hands on at the time so that's what I bought. Stu Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
