I don’t think people realize how much work actually goes into a sheath. Amazing job
A lot of work but a lot of fun! Thanks for watching 😊
The amount of work that goes into it means nothing to me. All I care about is how it functions. This case has nothing on the stock case that comes with it and it fails miserably to my Mora MOLLE sheath. I choose function over looks.
I am people and I do realize.
Even though I have no interest in leather work, I smiled through this video. As a woodworker, I can truly appreciate any type of work in which a skilled workman (woman) can create something of beauty using tools. For that same reason, I've many times watched the quilters on Saturday morning. To the woman who created this sheath, I stand incredibly impressed - well done!
Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words! ☺️ I can too appreciate any hand crafted items… just hits different! Haha I’ve actually made a few quilts myself…nothing to brag about tho 🙃… some people are just so talented in what they do! :)
You are really crazy witch, I love the way you're doing that thing!
Haha thank you! I love doing it! 🧙♀️
@@freakofnatureco Your skills are fascinating. You run like a machine. Thank you very much for your channel. I will watch for sure in the future.
I have that same Moraknife great value. You do exceptional work!
Best knife for you buck! ;) and thank you very much
Preciosa me ha encantado y con ese ovni!! Me encanta!!
Thank you!😊👽🛸🙌
That turned out AMAZING!
Impressive skills.
Thank you very much!😊
Gosh you're truly an inspiration!!!! Thanks for sharing this! Hope to see more, I subbed! Take care!
Thank you! And thanks so much for watching and subbing :)
Woooooow! Sooooo Goood❤
Thaanks
Perfect 😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you ....... merci !
Thanks for watching :)
Красота👍👍👍
Thanks! :)
New Subb . Great work
Awesome, thank you!😊
Could you make me a Mora Companion Scout carry sheath? I’m right handed. Would love a nice piece of artwork like that and it is nice to dress up a Mora because they are such great knives they deserve it.
I agree! They are a great knife. I’m not currently taking customs, but stay tuned I will announce when I do! :)
That's amazing! And beautiful (and you made it look easy! )
But why make a ...??$100-150?? Sheath for a $25 knife? Lol
Thanks you :) lol and honestly I’m still very new at the craft so I practice on anything I can get my hands on ;)
So glad I stumbled across your channel. I've just made my first leather item - a mask for my axe, but it's taught me enough to know that there's a huge amount of skill and knowledge in what you've produced. Beautiful work.
Thanks so much Steve, it’s a humbling art.. I am still very much a beginner! Self taught through TH-cam…So much to learn still!
You are truly a master of your craft, in a world of Micarta & Plastic sheaths, it is refreshing to see a beautifully hand-crafted leather one.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! A lot of time and effort goes into my craft! :) thanks for watching :)
Magnificent work 👏
This is fantastic! I love my Mora Companion and this sheath is amazing!!
Thank you for the kind words DJ!🥰 Happy New Year!🎊🍻
Hi: been doing the leather about 40 years. Interesting to see another master 's doing the craft a bit different. Best to you. Always keep learning and expanding your talent.
Haha I’m far from a master.. only been at it for a couple years, I have ALOT of learning to do! :p I’m sure you can give me lots of tips! Thanks for watching :)
That was so cool to watch you make that sheath. I find it to be a fascinating process. Really beautiful work you did.
Thanks Alan! :) appreciate the kind words :)
The sheath is amazing for a $15 knife. Your skills are exceptional.
Thank you so much!😊
They were ten bucks at the local gun store.. but a very useful knife and made in Sweden
@@codyironworks307 Amazon had them for under $10 bucks for a long time. I bought probably 20. Now they're popular and sell for almost $20.
They are a great all round bush knife!👍
Nice!
Absolutely a piece of functional artwork. Made like that it will last for decades
Thanks! I sure hope so! :) thank you for watching!
Hey, this is superb! Some people are good at making things and others take it to the next level. Your focus and persistence, step after step, is awesome. That is dedication that only comes from someone completely committed to their craft. Happy I just found your channel.
Thank you so much! I am still very new and always learning but appreciate the kind words!😊
You made an old man cry! Sallrite! I have only done natural, rough buffalo cream vegi tan. I wet form and roll over the opening on sheaths and holsters like fronteersmen would have done. Funzee!
That sounds very cool and unique!🙌 Thank you for watching Loren and leaving some kind words☺️
Your leather work is outstanding! I must say I’m very impressed with your fine Crafts’woman’ship Excellent job done! Thanks for sharing this wonderful video!
Thanks so much! And thank you for watching :)
I love the fact that you draw your own art. Great work, high quality video. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Haha I won’t lie I don’t always do! But try when I can! :) thank you for watching! :)
I haven’t seen leather tooling since I was a young teenager going to. Tandy class with my grandmother. I still have all her tools, your video has me inspired to get the out.
Ouuu you should absolutely dig those out! So therapeutic 👌🏼 thanks so much for watching!
After making a few sheaths for this knife, I learned to add a little extra to accommodate for the thickness of the leather. I also keep the welting continuous up the hilt of the knife as well. Another thing I do is skive the flesh side of the leather down so I can keep the hair side facing out around the belt loop. This allows the rough flesh side to help prevent the sheath sliding on a smooth leather belt, or even a nylon web belt.
I’ve gotten that advice a few times to continues the welt all the way up…I will absolutely give that a try next time! Thanks! As for your other piece of advice I think I tried what youre saying on a “restoration” sheath I did a couple weeks ago (video will be up in another couple weeks) and I screwed up so bad, but I’m learning so I’d love to hear what advice you’ll have for me on that video! Give it to me straight! ;)
@@freakofnatureco Skiving needs a SHARP blade, and a hard surface to do it on. Glass, or a chunk of granite or quartz counter top work fantastically!
I am hoping to invest in some nice stone...one day☺️
@@freakofnatureco The nice thing with leather is that if you case it before skiving, it's not as hard as on the edge as doing it dry. Also, if you strop the edge before using the knife, it gets REALLY sharp. It's something that should be done with your swivel knife too. Hell, I even do it with brand new razor blades!! Makes a HUGE difference.
I was trained in a Tandy Leather store, and that tape on the drawing trick has just blown me away!! Such a cute design for your sheathe as well. 😊 What a masterpiece!
Just makes tracing so much smoother! 👌🏼👌🏼 thanks so much for watching! :)
OUTSTANDING , great work , I've been encouraging my knife makers , here in Australia, to put more effort into their sheaths which they have done 👍🏼 finishes off a good knife , well done 👏 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you Andrew!😊🙏🍻
I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel. It's fascinating to see all that is involved in making a beautiful leather sheath and great to watch an artist at work. I still can't believe it only took you eight and a half minutes to make it!😂
Hahaha I’ve gotten really quick with practice! ;) thanks so much for watching.
I absolutely love my morakinv, its been my staple hunting knife and this sheath is killer. that UFO, AWESOME!! I love this so much.
Thank you so much!☺️ Mora makes some excellent all round bush knives🙌🏼
This was a pleasure to watch, still watching! It's looking beautiful!
Thank you so much! I appreciate your support☺️
First time I’ve ever seen your channel. Great video. And I’ve lost a couple companions in my life. And I often thought about getting a nice sheath that I could just replace the blade. Plus it would also carry a bush craft black! Also I loved how you just straight up showed your skills! No fuss no muss. Excellent work.
Thanks so much! And that is one good thing about companions…great quality for a low price! :) thanks for watching
Tooling leather isn’t as popular as it used to be. I’m glad to see you bring it back! Nice work. Very nice work. 👍🏼
I agree, it’s abit of a forgotten trade… and thank you for the kind words! :)
Outstanding job, that is a beautiful sheath, and i love your creative design.
Thanks so much! :)
Though I’ve been working with leather for ten years now, I like to see how others do their leather work. It is a lost art to do it by hand but I think people like you and me and all others who do it by hand could either bring it back or at least preserve the history of leather work. Great video. 😊
I hope so!! I do intend to maybe teach the skills in the future once I get a little more familiar with the craft! Thanks so much for watching :)
Wow. I'm so impressed by your skill. I wish I could make one for my mora. You're awesome.
Thanks so much! And you definitely should give it a try! Lots of how to videos out there… that’s how I learnt :)
I can’t get över how beautiful this is!😍
Thanks sister!
I want to make that exact sheath except for my Condor Bushlore knife. The design of the forest and UFO is PERFECT!!! Actually highlights an experience I have had camping in the wilderness perfectly!!! 👽 no joke
No way!!! That’s nuts! I’ve got my own story only from when I was real young! I’d love to see that sheath if you ever complete it! :)
I love that sheath so much :) thanks for this wonderful gift :)
My pleasure Marty!😊🌲🏕️
Hello from Alberta! What an amazing talent you have. As a hunter/Trapper/Outdoorsman I really appreciate the work you do. Thank you for posting this video. I look forward to shopping your products.
Thank you so much. That means a lot! :) thanks for taking the time to watch :!
Beautifully executed! I appreciate the craftsmanship and all the camera angles aswel. Great looking sheaf. 😉👍
Thanks so much! :)
Super good job ! I can only imagine the investment you must have in all the tools. But , the satisfaction you get when you’re finished makes it worth it.
Thanks so much! :) and It has definitely been a process building up my tools :p
Just found your channel i loved watching you build the knife sheath, your attention to detail is amazing, very nice craftsmanship looking forward to seeing more of your videos thank you very much 👍
Thank you so much for the kind words! 🙏😊
That's the coolest tooling design I have seen on a sheath, and the Bigfoot on your logo goes awesome with it!
Absolutely amazing work. Better yet amazing piece of art. Your talent is unmatched.
Wow, thank you!😊😊
Thank you for sharing your craft with us, very good skills, and a beautiful sheath too
Thank you! :) and thanks so much for watching
Seu trabalho com bainhas de facas é top,parabéns!!!!
Didn't know that watching someone do this would be so interesting! Great work, I've done some leather work in a shop class and you almost make it look easy.
Haha thanks so much! And I’m glad I make it look that way… it wasn’t always the case… lots and lots of projects have seen the garbage can ;)
Another great job. Respect that thick piece of rawhide you use, to make each knife perfectly fitted, each time. Solid ! 🏆
Thank you Barney!😊
This was the most amazing thing i've watched in a long time!! Great job
Woo thanks so much! I appreciate the kind words! :)
what would it cost to make adding a loop for Ferrocerium Rod 1/2 x 5"
Approx $95-100 CAD
Absolutely my favorite design from you so far.
Yaaay!! Thanks so much! :) just something about UFO’s ;)
You are the MASTER! What exquisite work you do.
Thank you! :)
That's Badass!! Very well done!! Love my Mora's!
So do I! :) thanks for watching!
WOW! What beautiful work! I didn't realize how much work goes into making such a sheath
Thank you very much!🍻 Takes some elbow grease but I love it 🥰
I've done a little leather sheath work, but mine have been strictly utilitarian. This is artistry. And inspiring. Thanks!
Thanks so much.. that means a lot :)
I know nothing about sheath making, but I recognize good craftmanship. You have it, to put it that way.
You make seeworthy viedos as well. Very enjoyable to watch.
Thumbs up immediately and greetings from a new subscriber in Norway 🇳🇴
That you so much! I appreciate the kind words! And a big hello back from Canada :)
Once I saw the flying saucer, that was it for me! And, your logo is outstanding as well. Well done!
Hah thank you!! :) I love my logo too! The designer nailed it!
Świetna robota piękny futerał. Też robię takie rzeczy ale najpierw trzeba było zmodyfikować tę zwykłą morkę.
Thanks! :) and it’s a rewarding craft :)
Coolest mora knife sheath I've ever seen. You've got amazing skills!
Thank you so much for the kind words!☺️
Супер!!! Неймовірно майстерно, дуже уміло і старанно. З любов'ю і знанням справи!!! У Вас дуже красиві руки, до того ж...👍👌🇺🇦
Awesome. I have done a few sheaths (one for a Mora knife) and I like them, but this is real high quality craft.
Thank you! :) they definitely beat the plastic sheaths they come with
The sheath turned out very well, respect! Now, of course, it's tempting to swap the handle for a wooden model.
God gave you golden hands.
You are tooo kind!😊
Very beautiful workmanship. Bravo! I would order for Mora knive.
Beautifully done. I love Moras, but I think the sheath is worth more than the knife!
Hahaha you would be right! Gotta spice it up somehow! ;) it’s a great little knife for the price, but it comes with a boring plastic sheath. Thanks for watching :)
The artistic vision and flare you add to your work is the difference between making a sheath and crafting a masterpiece ! Bravo
Thanks so much! That means a lot! ☺️
Это, конечно, хорошая работа мастера и всё такое прочее, но у Mora Companion, ровно как и у остальных моделей Mora, отличные ножны. Кожаные ножны всегда хуже пластиковых или композитных.
Wow Britto! Amazing 🤩
Thank youuuuu!😊
That's a fantastic sheath, very well done 👌
How do you measure your thread length?
what the thickness of leather that u been using?...in "mm"
Wonderful wonderful. Bravo for an awesome job.
Very COOL !! 🤩👍👍🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
Thank you 🤗
Exceptional work! You are a true master leather crafter!
Thank you very much for the kind words! Always learning☺️
Nice work.
$200 custom leather sheath, $15 knife.
And why are you so clean? You don't look like a leather worker. I end up with stain all over myself, my clothes, my hands, leather fibers everywhere. You finished cleaner than I start.
Hahaha I practice on whatever I can get my hands on… and I’m forced to keep it clean… my “shop” is also my main living area in my tiny apartment! 🙃 one day I’ll have the freedom to get messy! ;)
ok this sheath is looking WAY too good! awsome work Miss :)
How many hours went into making it, guesstimate?
What a great job! A super good looking knife sheath and a great video ... BOTH! -- Thank you for posting it! 😀 👍
Thank you! And thanks for watching! :)

Great Skills!!!
Thank you! Cheers!😊
Great job. I have a friend who does similar things. I posted videos of his work on my channel
Awesome! Thanks for watching!😊🙏
Hello, how are you? I'm curious about the spacing of the needles.
mm? -STITCHING CHISELS
Ou good questions… If I remember correctly I was using 4mm on this one.
Nice skills... 🥂
Thank you!😊
I been working with leather for about two years ,but you truly got it down to a art. I still have a lot to learn. 🌹🏆🌹
Thanks so much! I really appreciate that! :)
Exceptional!!! Joy 2 watch, with creative lovely hands!!!!😍😉
Thanks so much! :)
Nice handwork, a use your films at my lessons. A question, where could a buy the presstool?
Mvh Mats Lundmark Lycksele Sweden
Thank you! And I brought this from Tandy 👌🏼
Outstanding leather work. I am a hobbyist leather craftsman too. Cheers from the Yucatan Peninsula. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Manuel!😊 I am new myself, I love it! Thanks for watching🍻
And that kids is why quality goods cost more than junk. Super skills. Thanks for sharing. End product is remarkable.
Thanks for watching and the kind words!!!😊🙏
Amazing work,, I will order one soon if you accept orders from overseas 😀
Awesome, thank you!😊
“Un-Freaking-Outstanding” Scene & Design. I bought the yellow plastic sheathed version for the family bug in bags. Maybe I need to craft up to leather and match my Knives Of ALaska sheaths and personalize like you did. Great craftsmanship and thank you for sharing. Even happier it showed up on my feed.
It makes me happy it showed up on your feed too! ;) thanks so much for the kinds words! :) there’s just something about personal touches on even the most basic stuff! :)
very nice work. I would look into using Obenauf's Heavy Duty LP instead of sno-seal. Just an idea....
Thanks for the tip! I’ll look into that product 😊
wondering ... how do you perfect perfection?
I admit I like the wood handle N°1 a bit better, but as far as functionality is concerned, both are "perfect" (for my needs/uses).
Mora SHEATHS kinda suck ... However, unlike other plastic sheaths, they don't have fiberglass fibers "reinforcing" the plastic to dull the blade when the knife is taken out and put back in.
I found a nice aftermarket leather sheath for mine.
Glad your happy with the products you have purchase!🙌🏼 Thanks for watching☺️
Beautiful Work!!! Question what is the black block that your pounding your stitching hole into??
Thank you! :) and it’s a cutting/punching board from OKA factory (I think their called)… a Japanese company 👌🏼 I love it so far
Its amazing ! too amazing for a sooo basic plastic knive, just discovered your chanel, hello from France :)
Merci! ☺️ Welcome to the channel🙌🏼
Isn't this like putting "lipstick on a pig"? Excellent work nonetheless... I am perfectly okay with the plastic sheath...
And that’s why there’s 50 flavours of ice cream. ;) I’m a beginner at the craft so I’m just practicing on whatever I can get my hands on. Thanks for watching :)
Awsome finish, it's incredible bravo !
Thanks so much!! :)
That was such a satisfying video, you have impressive leather working skills.
Perfect sheath for a Mora style bushcraft knife.
Thank you so much! And thanks for watching :)
