Stamped Leather Expansion

I attach the shelf paper before I case it. I am not sure it would stick as well if the leather was wet.

Thanks for that information.  I'm a total noob, so details of how things are done are very helpful to me.

To help you get throu this project, 1 option is to cut a new back.  Use the larger piece as a templet and cut the back to it.

you can take or leave it,  just thought I would throw it out there

Time for a followup.  I ended up cutting a new back piece to replace the one that was too small, added welts to build up the sheath to fit the knife, got it all glued and stitched today.  Here's the result before dyeing.

The knife is my first attempt at a real knife after a few knife-shaped objects, and it still needs some work.  No, it's not a RR spike knife.  I cut the head off a spike and welded it to the handle as a pommel.
