Members Killerwork Posted February 28, 2018 Members Report Posted February 28, 2018 This is my first and only leather project so far, used 2 tandy stamps and a swivel knife I had found at a garage sale. I am extremely excited all ready about learning the craft! Also I take criticism extremely well! Quote
Members Caesar Posted February 28, 2018 Members Report Posted February 28, 2018 Looks really good for a first project. I don't do any tooling, so I'm no help there. but it looks really good to my eye. I'm new to leather working as well. Such a fun craft! What leather did you use? Keep it up, you'll be a pro in no time! Quote
Members Killerwork Posted February 28, 2018 Author Members Report Posted February 28, 2018 I used 9 oz veg tan from Tandy leather. I know I need a new blade for the swivel knife, there is a chip on one side of the one from the garage sale. Also the handle seemed to thin to control well, I have heard about people stacking leather to make a new grip, can anyone shine some light on that! Especially how to adhere it to the barrel. Quote

First good work for a first attempt. Second, you can repair the blade you have by re-profiling the edge. If you don't like the barrel of the SK, id look at a new one, or an easier modification like athletic tape until you find a size you like and are comfortable with. Quote
