Second ever knife sheath!

Recommended Posts

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!

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?

Thank you! 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.

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!
