YinTx Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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!

battlemunky Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sweet sheath dude! Thanks. Cutting curves is a joy with a round knife once you get it down. 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. YinTx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
