Lizard Inlay With Pocket Clip

[zoomer56]

This is a sheath for a 2.5" blade made by my brother. The pocket clip is attached to blue lizard and that is sandwiched between two 2/3 oz pieces of leather.  what's is new to my sheaths here is the blue welt.

Contrasting blue welt is really neat an unique.  Cool!

I would swear that I posted on this but maybe I sent a PM instead or forgot to click Send.

Love the 2-tone color scheme and the contrasting welt, which turns one of the most boring parts of a sheath into a stand-out feature!

Genius!

Here is a picture of the knife. I've tried several ways to get color into the welt over the past year. This was the keeper.  Thank you for the comments. I have plain steel, black and brass pocket clips available.

wow!

Thanks Sperrier.  I think I've got the process and the pattern down. This knife (Agilis V2) only has a 2.5" blade, so it is small and carries pretty good in the front pocket.

Very unique with the welt colored blue!

 

Nice knife and sheath.

Hi all.  Still a noob, here.  What is a welt?  

[wizard of tragacanth]

Look at the second picture from the top. See the light blue layer of leather between the front and back of the sheath? That is a welt.

In a knife sheath it is used to prevent the knife from cutting the stitching of the sheath. Welts are also used in shoes for different reasons.
