fiftycrushplan Report post Posted November 8, 2018 Hey guys just wanna see if I can get some feedback from the progression between the 2 sheaths. The first knife I made is a hunting/skinner made from 1095 steel grinded at a 22 degree angle with a rockwell hardness of around 58. The second knife is a bushcraft knife also made from 1095 steel ground at a 25 degree angle and also has a rockwell hardness around 58. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
garypl Report post Posted November 8, 2018 Second sheath looks much better than the first! Edges look finished and smaller stitching is more appeal8ngnto the eye. Well done! Gary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrisash Report post Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) It can help to add a narrow strip of leather spacer around and between the layers so that the blade does not cut the thread, this way the edges are three layers instead of two Edited November 11, 2018 by chrisash Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riem Report post Posted November 11, 2018 Great progress between the two products. Was the leather pre-dyed or did you dye it yourself? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I died it and finished it with a 50/50 water resolene finish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
