Members Bant Posted March 12, 2020 Author Members Report Posted March 12, 2020 Gentlemen, thanks much for the responses. I'm merely a hobbist but have been asked to do a knife sheath with a snake skin inlay on the front. So, what's left of my mind, has told me that instead of just gluing the snake skin to the back side ofthe sheath, it would be a good idea to to stitch around the perimeter as well. That led me to the thoughtthat a groove forthe stitches would be a good idea. Thus the genesis of the original question. That being said, I'm wide open to suggestions as to how to procede. I just don't want to screw this up as the skin is a stunning example of Copperhead. Quote

The one the op linked to only indents. AGREED. The one I purchased when I first started is an actual "groover" it cuts a groove into the leather so your stitches lay below the surface of the leather. @Bant If you zoom in you can see the tiny hole and cutting edge.
