Members YinTx Posted February 20, 2019 Members Report Posted February 20, 2019 Not everything is as it should be, but at least the blade is safe and sound in there for now. Decided to let the thing be as thick as it was going to be, turned out to be 1/2"! This was some of the old Tandy 10 oz veg tan shoulder leather. The Rose blade cut through it without a complaint. What a joy to use. YinTx Quote YinTx https://www.instagram.com/lanasia_2017/ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK6HvLWuZTzjt3MbR0Yhcj_WIQIvchezo
bikermutt07 Posted February 20, 2019 Report Posted February 20, 2019 Nice. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

Seems the sheath is protecting other things in the drawer from the round knife also! I can see where it has inadvertently added some "patina" to other things in there...

Hard to justify having two of the same size, and have always been wanting a Rose blade. Night and day difference, but took about 6 or 7 hours of labor to get it to this condition, and the price difference to go with it. The other served me well for years, now enjoying the fruits of my labor on this one! Hopefully the other is working out for you also. Thanks for the compliment!

Members battlemunky Posted February 21, 2019 Members Report Posted February 21, 2019 Looks really nice Yin. I don't have a round knife yet but I see where cutting 1/4 in thick leather it would be nice to have. Sweet sheath dude! Quote

That pancake knife sheath you made would be something you could do with a round knife. This was actually 1/2" of leather, 1/4" would be like hot knife through butter.
