FIRST two knife sheaths I've ever made

[Mocivnik]

Well, here we go:

 

This is an axe sheath made from 5 oz. veg tan, colred with FIebing's PRO DYE color dark brown. Single layer, then put over resolene and seal's fat for gloss finish.

I've also added a single strap with 2 snap buttons to hold on, but haven't got that pic on me, sorry :/ This sheath is actually fully functional, although it's not very good looking. THis was a first ever made sheath from me, so it's like a 0x00 Pilot version :D :D :D There are some extra holes around that rivet and just doesn't look very good.

 

The next thing is a machette sheath. 6-7 veg tan, colored with FIebing's PRO DYE color dark brown. I've noticed, that I should NEVER EVER used more than 1 coat of this dye, because it gets bad on some surfaces. Never ever applying 2 or more coats (here I applied 3 coats of dye).

Total lenght: 590mm or 23.2 inch.

 

And the final one, the dagger's sheath. Dyed with Diablo (italian company) black (nero) dye, alcohol based. APplied resolene on top. Made from 7 oz. veg tan.

The dagger is also made by me, but the handle + pommel at the end isn't finished yet. Still need to add some kind of a strap, to hold a knife on place.

Hi Mocivnik, those look great.  My first projects (out of 5 total) were axe sheathes as well.  The design is almost exactly like yours, except that yours look nice.

Great work! Your machete sheath is fantastic and inspiring.  The owl looks a bit nervous.

If you will buff the first coat of that dark brown dye with a buffing wheel (I use a Dremel) and do the same on subsequent coats, especially the last one then it doesn't have that dark 'dull' look. Then some Resolene and maybe a little mink oil rubbed in to a very high gloss.:)

Nice job as usual.
