Members stu925 Posted December 30, 2015 Members Report 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
Members Instinctive Posted December 30, 2015 Members Report Posted December 30, 2015 That works for me and I really like the idea of covering the flesh side. It looks great, Quote Eric Fisher Fisher Custom Leather "A Retirement Project" https://fishercustomleather.wordpress.com/

Members Wild Bill46 Posted December 31, 2015 Members Report 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
Members snubbyfan Posted January 1, 2016 Members Report Posted January 1, 2016 In think it's a very nice sheath. Nice edges. Quote Keep on Chooglin'Check out my YouTube Channel, comment and subscribe for updateshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOM3hbruUKHov9kquIxXKlA
Members stu925 Posted January 1, 2016 Author Members Report 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. Stu Quote

Members chapelstone Posted January 28, 2016 Members Report Posted January 28, 2016 What color dye did you use? Quote C. Norman McGlohon Chapel Stone, LLC Custom Leather Works
Members stu925 Posted January 28, 2016 Author Members Report 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
Members AfroCrafter Posted February 1, 2016 Members Report Posted February 1, 2016 A really handsome sheath. Great edge. Quote Alex Eveything is OK in the end. If it's not OK, it's not the end.
Members stu925 Posted February 2, 2016 Author Members Report Posted February 2, 2016 You're welcome, glad to help. I just showed it to my wife, she said, "oh my that's a nice edge." Then I must have done something right. Tell her I said thank you. A really handsome sheath. Great edge. Thank you, I appreciate it. Thanks everyone for the compliments. Stu Quote
