Critique My knife sheaths

Recommended Posts

I have been doing leatherwork for about 2 years, and taking it serious and selling my work through Facebook/Instagram for about a month. I am 16 years old, and have not had much guidance in this hobby (other than Facebook groups and some YouTube videos) so I have been figuring things out on my own. Criticism and advice would be appreciated, as well as encouragement and positivity.

Also, these are my most recent sheaths.

Thanks in advance!!

I am by far not an expert and still consider myself a noob but from I can see:

The good:  I like the rustic brown; it's a classic color

The improvement needed:  The belt holes aren't straight.  Maybe some more sanding?   The original outline of the 'z' is coming through from where you traced it in.  Maybe you spread your resist out too far?  If not that and you haven't applied an acrylic finish on it yet you could go back with more dye?

Overall it looks better than my first stab, or even my second stab at a similar design. (pun intended.)  :)      

Keep poundin'!

Yes cleaning up the belt loops and work on your edges, bevel , edge kote  will help . All in all not bad.
