Members chapelstone Posted January 9, 2018 Members Report Posted January 9, 2018 I attach the shelf paper before I case it. I am not sure it would stick as well if the leather was wet. Quote C. Norman McGlohon Chapel Stone, LLC Custom Leather Works
Members olfart Posted January 14, 2018 Author Members Report Posted January 14, 2018 Thanks for that information. I'm a total noob, so details of how things are done are very helpful to me. Quote
Members Brianm77 Posted January 14, 2018 Members Report Posted January 14, 2018 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 Quote
Members olfart Posted January 26, 2018 Author Members Report Posted January 26, 2018 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. Quote
