Swivel knife pouch pattern

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I bought this pattern from Tandy, have it cut out, but, I assume the front piece needs to be wet formed. Stapling the piece down including the stitch lines doesn't seem right. What is the best way to do this.

Link to a picture of the pouch;   

Thanks

It doesn't look like the pockets have been wet formed.  Looks like the swivel knives are just forced into the pocket, stretching them out somewhat.

You could assemble the kit, moisten the front of the pockets some (if the leather is vegtan), and push a swivel knife in (or a piece of doweling to shape the pocket.

Thanks Tom, that is sort of the idea I had but I wasn't sure if it would work. Should I do this before or after dying?

Before, the stretching and forming may alter the dying coverage.
