@honorabovelife i usually get my leather from school satchels and heavy duty bags from second hand shops , but for this one i was given a piece by a friend . all the rivets and press studs were from e bay 7mm single cap rivets if i remember right
@TheGunner257 not really , just when i make a new knife , or get an idea like the copper blade gripper . i like the american army sheaths from 1940 , i would like to try something like them for my next knife
@TheGunner257 thanks . i use a sponge with a scouring pad on the back , to polish the copper metal . its made for cleaning plates , and gives a better finish than sandpaper . i use furniture polish to finish the leather
very amazing
@punkjewellery i think you missed the point
good job.Stitching would have looked nicer i think.
how long did it take you to make the knife sheath?

nice job, i was wondering , do you use a sponge or something else to sand the medal, and do you tarnish the leather after being finished?
very nice sheath how long did it take you to make it?
@neonpike how long did it take you to make it/
very nice sheath, where did you get the leather
wow, wish i owned one made by him, sound as a dollar!
@thermaldog it does leave a polished strip on the blade , but its lost among the marks from daily use
very good job….but i am surprised at and have never before seen the metal piece holding the knife in place..would it not scratch the blade??
@hapyyidiot thanks . the sailright awl youve got favourited looks ineresting .
I like this video, i really do. That is a sharp looking sheath.
@jamesboy223 i use leather thats already got some stiffness to it . i search for old leather satchels and bags
how do ypu make leather hard?
love it love it love it,thanks for upload,u dont know how much i needed a simple and effective sheath making,
that is very nice, you have a real skill set there, something i wish i could do because i have some fixed blades that need sheaths lol
@rc3mil the steel only covers the spine of the blade and leaves the edge untouched
