Thread: Playing with leather

Thanks for that @Ftx325 .I finished my version of your sheath the other day but had to use bolts on one side for the length.Pretty happy with how it all turned out.The knife was an old Svord I found by the chopping block,had a broken tip and some pup had chewed the handle so relaced that, cleaned it up an reshaped blade.
I really like the fact there is nothing inside the sheath to rub and wear out.Have started wearing at work so will see how it goes with daily use.

Is the sheath body the buffalo leather ?

Yes it is.It's a bit different to work with,will be interesting to see how durable it is.Certainly doesn't wetmold or burnish very well.

I would say it's going to be durable all right . Even cutting it took me a lot more effort than the russet .

Had to get a new phone recently, after looking at various protective cases I decided to make my own.It was a good excuse to try a couple things I've been wanting to do for a while now.
Also finished up a sheath I was asked to make for a mates son

Jeez mate , your getting good at the design carving . Looks real good
I have been looking at the carving tools on Ali and seriously considering investing in some . Just don't know if I will be doing enough leather work to justify the money .
But that phone case looks awesome 😎

Awesome mate, love your work

Looks bloody good Alistair!

Depends on your definition of decent.Would probably cost ya more than the knife

I used to charge anywhere from $85 to $95 for an open top sheath. That was 5 years ago now

Yeah I'm about the same,bit cheaper for mate's etc.When you work it out there's nearly $30 worth of leather in a decent sized sheath.
