Members YinTx Posted January 28, 2020 Members Report Posted January 28, 2020 The design was simple, maybe version 2 will come out better! Open to critique. The leather was really thin, so will probably use thicker leather in the future or a soft backer board when tooling to get better depth. YinTx Quote

Members battlemunky Posted January 29, 2020 Members Report Posted January 29, 2020 Slick work on the top edge with the liner. Tidy, the carving looks really nice too! Quote
Members Vikefan Posted January 29, 2020 Members Report Posted January 29, 2020 Looks awesome! Kudos! Vikefan Quote
Members YinTx Posted January 29, 2020 Author Members Report Posted January 29, 2020 Appreciate all the positive sentiments, especially since I just botched a week's worth of work on a wallet with the last bit of stitching! I'll post it later so everyone can commiserate with me. @battlemunky, that is just Fenice edge paint, since the liner can not be burnished. Not sure how long it'll hold up to repeated knife use, time will tell! YinTx Quote
Members Stetson912 Posted January 29, 2020 Members Report Posted January 29, 2020 Not too shabby haha nice work Quote

Members YinTx Posted January 29, 2020 Author Members Report Posted January 29, 2020 @Stetson912 and @chuck123wapati, Thank you both! YinTx Quote
Members Riem Posted January 30, 2020 Members Report Posted January 30, 2020 Really great work - love the tooling AND the colour contrast between the outer leather and the inner. And... It's going to be a cradle for a blade? Which blade? :-) :-) :-) Quote

I don't know... waiting on any fellow with a folding blade to decide to buy it off my table next weekend! YinTx Quote

toxo Posted January 30, 2020 Report Posted January 30, 2020 Good job Yin. I'm intrigued by the belt loop. Is there a bent metal clip under there or is it stitched along the bottom in which case you would have had to do it at the start? Quote

There is no bent metal clip, the loop is stitched at the base. I wonder myself how well it will hold up, but it is double stitched at the stress points. Probably would be better to have a rivet in there or something next time around. YinTx Quote
