Kopio

New guy from Idaho

Recommended Posts

Hello All,

Just thought I would drop in and introduce myself.  My name is Matt (aka Kopio) and I am from Boise, Idaho.  I've always been a bit of a knife nut...and I have several knives I am putting together that I'm wanting to make sheaths for.  That is my primary interest.  I've been doing a bit of research as well as watching some videos.  I have yet to buy any tools, but I've been looking at lots of them.

Any suggestions for a tool set for fold over sheaths would be more than welcome.

Hey Kopio, welcome to the Forum! (I have a sister who lives in Meridian.)
For a good place to start, try this:
http://www.ianatkinson.net/leather/toolset.htm

Ian Atkinson lives in the UK, and he has an excellent set of videos about how to construct basic leather articles, tools and their use, and so on. 
The webpage I reference there might be just the thing you are looking for. And you should definitely look through his videos!
