First Knife Sheaths

[DesertCntrLeather]

Hello all,

I am new to this community, I was given my grandfather's tools for working leather a few years ago. I played and practiced with all the tools. I was asked if I could make a pair of knife sheaths for my mechanic and his father in-law. I said sure. He had no patterns in mind so I went with what he hunted. Deer and Duck. His father in-law did not hunt duck so I stuck with a buck. The buck did not come out the way I wanted it to.. all but the Letters and leaves are traced and free hand done.

For being new, you did a really good job on the freehand work. I'm going ot take a guess that you used a kit from Tandy to make both knife sheaths. I haven't looked close at the kits but do they include a welt so you don't end up cutting the thread when you are taking the knife out and putting it in?
