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

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

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

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

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

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
