AndyL1 Report post Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) Here’s my second ever knife sheath. The first one I made a few years ago. I think it came out pretty sweet. 5/6 veg tan dyed with Tandy’s brown waterstain and antiqued in my signature style. Fully welted along the blade side. The concho was a last minute add, otherwise I would have made the tab a smidge bigger for it. Anyway, came out cool! Edited January 31, 2020 by AndyL1 Added welting info.

YinTx Report post Posted January 31, 2020 Really stylish, I like the curves. I do have a question on the rivet. I had considered putting one in a sheath I made in the past, but I worried the blade would drag across it. Is it somehow protected from that, maybe with the welt?

Yes, the rivet is captured within the welt. I made the welt about 3/8” wide. If you put one in be sure to skive it down where it meets the point. Otherwise it’s too thick on that end. 36 minutes ago, Hardrada said: Superb! Thanks! 35 minutes ago, wizard of tragacanth said: I like it a lot. Simple but elegant.

Vikefan Report post Posted January 31, 2020 Great looking piece! Well done. Maybe you can cut leather circles, or add a lining to hide the rivets in the future? Great job! I like everything about it! Vikefan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
