In this video I'm making a leather knife sheath for my full tang knife. There I try to explain all steps involved in process of creation 'DIY leather knife sheath'. / koss_workshop / kossworkshop
The leather strip of the edge part is essential to prevent the cutting edge from cutting the thread. If you only put the spine on the blade you run the risk of accidentally cutting the thread. The thickness of the leather strip should be the same thickness as the knife blade.
I really wish you could have been talking during this video and telling us what you are doing I am personally trying to make a custom knife sheath and I like the way this looks but there's no explaining
A fine sheath, no doubt about that.. But for a "DIY" video, you should consider dropping the music and instead explain what it is that you do.. Also, skipping steps in a DIY video, is not a good thing
@@damionlowther78 he put a little block on the sharp side, the welt went on the straight back side, beautiful work but spoilt as the stitching will eventually cut
I have never used a drill press on leather,just a rotary manual punch. I have a drill press and I am working on a sheath now, I think I will try it. It sure looks a lot easier and faster then by hand.
Really beautiful decorative sheath! Precise and with lot of attention to details, really like it. On the other hand, the main purpose of a knife sheath is to hold the knife and most importantly hold it safe! Sooner or later (if you intend to use it) you will cut right trough the sheath with your knife while pulling the knife out, or sheathing it in. If you are "lucky" enough, you will hold the sheath and cut right in to your fingers...
that is just a black die that is applied to the edge of the leather there to accentuate the look. It can be burnished to achieve a high gloss finish on the edge which also gives it a certain degree of protection against moisture.
I wish he had explained what (light, medium, heavy) grade leather used as per Amazon's project leather being sold. I need to buy some leather but cannot feel the thickness/stiffness of the leather they sell and they don't say the thickness.
Mr. Weaver; Leather is measured in ounces, one square foot of leather 1/64th of an inch thick (.016 or .4 mm) weighs one ounce. Heavy duty leather is 8 ounces or an 1/8th in. Since he's building a knife sheath he wants 8 oz leather and that is what he is using.
@@MountainFisher Thanks. My biggest gripe is the poorly given descriptions across a wide variety of consumer products. In this case leather. I was seeking certain leather to work with and one claimed it in ounces, yet another in mm and another inches, several gave medium and heavy, (funny no one used light or thin and another gave no thickness reference at all.
@@terryglenweaver I suggest you watch the Weaver Elements video series starting here and he does a short explanation of the two main leather types. It's a basic introduction. th-cam.com/video/6w485PtivLE/w-d-xo.html Now here is a more in depth tutorial by Springfield Leather in two parts on how to choose veg tan leather, it's almost an hour for the both of them. th-cam.com/video/rOpqWydgr-s/w-d-xo.html Oh Mr Weaver Springfield Leather will sell you high quality leather by the square foot so you don't have to buy a $245 Herman Oak side. Beware of cheap leather, it isn't worth it when you go to working it. I learned this from experience.
@@terryglenweaver I totally understand your frustration. If you live near a Tandy Leather store they have classes for beginners. It's where I first learned how to make a sheath for my knives in 1992. I am fortunate that I have a Tandy store over in El Paso and so I can hand pick my leather, I have a military discount so I'm in Tandy's Elite club, the savings is significant, but it's the one thing I don't like about their store. A note on hardware like rivets, snaps or buckles is if it doesn't say "solid brass" assume it's plated steel. Had a rusty filet knife sheath come back to me once and my customer wasn't happy and though Tandy carried solid brass rivets they did not carry solid brass snap fasteners and I had to make a whole new sheath with button post flaps to secure the knife. I now have line 20 and line 24 solid brass snaps from Zack White leather. Weaver Leather carries them, but I have to buy 100 of them, I don't make that many knives!
Ах какая работа, мастер большой художник от замысла до пашива респект мастеру!!!! Волк бесподобен а кабан тоже былбы не плохо!!!😊😉😄😃😀👏🖒👍👌💪🏅🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
What was the last thing you added onto the skin? Was that leather vax? I have leather vax does it do the same thing? Felt like yours darkened the color a little bit

Dude, how did you form the sheath opening?!
A fine sheath, no doubt about that.. But for a "DIY" video, you should consider dropping the music and instead explain what it is that you do.. Also, skipping steps in a DIY video, is not a good thing
I agree .... Im an experienced leather crafter but I stopped watching because the "music" was so awful
Oh opinions.
Not putting an anti-cut insert on the side of the blade is a fatal mistake!
Exelente meu amigo parabéns
Nice job but you put the welt on the wrong side. You want it on the knife edge side so the blade won’t cut the stitching
The welt goes all the way around. Not just one side.
colton housley : only on one side if it’s a fold over sheath. But you are correct on both sides if it a flat style sheath.
Look again.
@@damionlowther78 he put a little block on the sharp side, the welt went on the straight back side, beautiful work but spoilt as the stitching will eventually cut
@@winstonsharpe4080 Yo también lo veo así. El ribete 'welt' es para proteger la costura. Saludos de Anaco, Anz.
Enjoyed the video. I especially liked the free-hand engraving. Impressive artistic ability and craftsmanship.
What products did you use for this? What is that black stuff called? And what glue? Thanks.
End result looks truly amazing!
Parece muito prático de fazer, parabéns vou tentar fazer uma. Estou precisando
I really need a drill press so I can try my hand @ making a sheath.
yeah, me too... I'm missing several real essentials of my shop... a band saw and a drill press.
I have never used a drill press on leather,just a rotary manual punch. I have a drill press and I am working on a sheath now, I think I will try it. It sure looks a lot easier and faster then by hand.
Outstanding work! This is a real beauty - and respect for the freehand carving!
there was a pencil drawing on the sheath lol
Отличная работа и прекрасный результат.
Make a video on your leather cutting knife, that how do you make it, which you use in all your sheath making videos plz.
Great Job! I also really liked the music. Who is the band and where did you find it?

Vardegas is
Gostei muito ganhou um inscrito amigo abraços
Looks great. Do you eyeball your stitch spacing or do you use a layout tool? Also is the sheath wet formed to fit the handle?
Greay job! I like your videos! Can you make a video about how you sharpen your hunting knifes and your leather cutting knife?
Nice lookin sheath and knife! Great video. Would you consider sharing the knife pattern for a diy project of my own? Great lines. Thanks
I love that you free-handed that wolf.
what is the black stuff you putting on edge of sheath?
that is just a black die that is applied to the edge of the leather there to accentuate the look. It can be burnished to achieve a high gloss finish on the edge which also gives it a certain degree of protection against moisture.
STOP! Знакомые спички 10:01. Ты случайно не с Украины?
bravo tres beau resultat magnifique gravure
Very well done!

Does Anyone know what kind of Knife He was using?? Seems to work well at cutting the Leather while staying in Control of the Knife.
Think it's called a "Kiradashi" or "Kiridashi"
Gostaria de saber o que você passou na bainha após o desenho??!!
Where did you get the leather Material
Just got 4sqft of 2mm vegetable tan leather for $100aud on eBay.
👍👍👏👏
Great video, but there's no "explanation" which would have been nice
Хорошая работа
FALTO MARTILLAR LA COSTURA PARA QUE SE ACOMODE Y FALTO EL RODILLO DE MADERA...
Do you do custom orders?
Fast and loud, missed the "explain all steps" part.
Nice sheath,really like it.
FALTO EL SURCO PARA QUE NO SE DETERIORE LA COSTURA...
For those of us who dont own a drill press?
Do it w a hand drill. Just pay close attention to keep ur holes straight. I do mine that way
Use a leather punch.
I use a dremel
