Members fiftycrushplan Posted November 8, 2018 Members Report 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
garypl Posted November 8, 2018 Report 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 Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4
Members JazzBass Posted November 8, 2018 Members Report Posted November 8, 2018 Night and Day! If that's your first and second sheath, I can't wait to see your 5th or 6th! Remarkable improvement! Quote Christopher J. Gordanhttps://www.youtube.com/user/ChrisGordan

Members chrisash Posted November 11, 2018 Members Report 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 Mi omputer is ot ood at speeling , it's not me
Members Riem Posted November 11, 2018 Members Report Posted November 11, 2018 Great progress between the two products. Was the leather pre-dyed or did you dye it yourself?
