My first leather sheath

[Arutemu]

A friend of mine made a hunting knife, but had no sheath for it. So I decided to try my hand, killing two birds with one stone - make a sheath for a friend and learn in the process. Since he had already used this knife on a deer hunt, I put a deer stamp along with his initials on it. I was pretty pleased with myself, considering this was a first. Youtube rules!

Nice Job. I hope you've got a welt in there else it will cut the thread eventually.

Very nice look and some nice clothes for that knife.

 

I am curious does the belt loop stop where the snap loop on the handle is or does it go all the way back down.  If it goes back down is there a second rivet on the inside to help hold it?  Just wondering cause ifnjuat 1 rivet it might move.  I'm assuming it doesnt stop at the snap loop cause it would flip around then.

 

Keep making it just gets better theore you make

Yep, there's a welt in there. Without it it would be a much faster job, but it makes for a much more reliable (and safer) hold. Unfortunately, I am yet to find a convenient and quick way of reliably punching through 3 layers of leather and being able to remove the chisel with ease.
