Members verus22 Posted September 10, 2017 Author Members Report Posted September 10, 2017 Roger that on the belt clips, WRLC. I was considering that style, but I wanted to keep the thickness down to a minimum. I was thinking of splitting a strip thin and sewing it onto the back, but I was worried about the strength.

alpha2 Posted September 10, 2017 Report Posted September 10, 2017 Strength is a good thing to worry about. After putting my first ever molded sheath into use, I've learned that strength means more than just carrying it on your belt. It also has to take into consideration what happens when you catch it on the arm of a chair or seatbelt, etc. This is my first attempt at a wet molded sheath for my EDC knife. I can't believe I haven't ripped it apart yet, because I've certainly tried! Knowing what I know now, I would have made the leather thicker, and maybe made the stress relief holes a bit bigger. Live and learn! Quote So much leather...so little time.
Members verus22 Posted September 10, 2017 Author Members Report Posted September 10, 2017 Yep yep. Fail forward fast. I just finished my second prototype for a japanese leather knife cover...and I made plenty of mistakes with both. But now I know how NOT to do it. On to the next one!

Members kiwican Posted September 12, 2017 Members Report Posted September 12, 2017 I really like the visual flow of the knife and sheath. Reminds me of a wave Quote
