Members Doug61 Posted January 30, 2021 Members Report Posted January 30, 2021 Pics of a sheath I made for a small hunter recently. Exterior is Bordeaux calf skin and the lining is Black goat skin, hand stitched with Brick linen thread. Knife handle is African Blackwood. Cheers, Doug Quote

Members maxdaddy Posted January 30, 2021 Members Report Posted January 30, 2021 That looks great. The little flare on the blade side is a nice design touch. Quote
CFM Hardrada Posted January 30, 2021 CFM Report Posted January 30, 2021 What did you use for the superb edges? Quote

I got it from Rocky Mountain Leather. I still spend more time on edges than anything else, but it's still the first thing a lot of people look at. Cheers Quote

I got Uniters paint from RML; should produce similar results, methinks. Did you use a machine to burnish such as a Regad, or was it all slicker and elbow grease? Quote
Members battlemunky Posted January 31, 2021 Members Report Posted January 31, 2021 That is near perfection Sir. Excellent work. Quote
Members YinTx Posted January 31, 2021 Members Report Posted January 31, 2021 A really sleek overall look. I like the color combos and textures. Great piece. YinTx Quote
Members dikman Posted January 31, 2021 Members Report Posted January 31, 2021 Simple and elegant. Quote
Members Doug61 Posted January 31, 2021 Author Members Report Posted January 31, 2021 Thank you everyone for your comments, it means a lot. I still have things I think I can improve on, and isn't that what keeps us all going in this craft. Doug Quote

I use a type of Regad to heat the paint and lots of sanding. I generally don't burnish if I'm using edge paint. I use Uniters as well, depending on the colour I'm trying to match, it's good stuff.
