Making a leather knife sheath for a bushcraft style stainless steel knife. The knife is made out of cpm 154 stainless steel, forest green g-10 handle, and one Corby bolt for a pin.
Hi Ian, this is a very good video, detailed, we'll filmed, work workmanship is very good,just a suggestion, I found the music got a bit repetitive, maybe mix it up a bit
I doubt it. After you dye the leather with an alcohol based dye, it will dry the leather out. You'll need to apply an oil before sealing the leather whit a cote.
@@escapetherace1943 I have a leather jacket that is 30 years old and in perfect conditions, and I've worn it a lot, let it rain or snow, just taken basic care of it. A cheap knife in a leather sheath I bought about 40 years ago is still perfect. That too saw a lot of use, and basic care. A friend has a sabre which is 170 years old. Leather grip still perfect. I have one, same model and period, grip wasted by dry rot due to improper storage. A Full grain leather sheath, well cared for, will last generations. Just store it in a place that is cool and not too dry (to avoid dry rot) and not too wet (to avoid mold). Let it dry slowly in a dry, cool place if it gets wet, then use a good, natural leather care product to condition it again. I'm not saying modern, synthetic products are not good. Maybe they are, may be they are even better, but having been around for less than 20 years these haven't been through all the use natural products have been and have still to prove themselves. I would try them on inexpensive leather manufacts, nothing historical or heritage-grade, that's it.
Very glad I came across your channel. Really like your ingenuity in regards to using what you have ( the bottle to smooth the edge, a 2x4 under the project when punching holes). The video itself was nicely done as well and great music. You earned this new subscriber.
Such a fun video to watch. I wonder though, at 25:44, instead of a bottle, would it prove to be easier for you to use a guitar bottleneck slide? Slips right on the finger and would prob be easier to hold/control?
@@ianbyron7464 oh no, i mean a glass slide, they call them bottleneck slides because typically would be cut from the neck of a bottle. Of course, now that I think about it, it would not make sense to buy a slide if you can easily use an empty bottle that you already own for free.
Beautiful job. Yu have golden hands, but the sound track was annoying and irritable to a stage where I was just about to change page.....Just my opinion of course, but the end result of you work compensate the rest... :)
Hi, could you please tell what stamp you used there, so far I've only used the basket weave stamp, which is cool, but, I'm ready to try something else! Cheers
Awesome job just starting to make knives and using kydex at present and the leather makes it look so much nicer keep the videos coming
Thank you!!
Fantastic!!! 👍🏼

Отличная работа,качество на высоте.Видео о том, как нужно правильно делать и любить свое хобби.
A sheath like that, well cared for, will last several lifetimes...

maybe 20-30 years if cared for, but it's leather mate, it isn't forever

Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing the layout to the finished sheath, learned a lot from your video. Appreciate you sharing!!👍
By the book, great job !
I just now noticed that you have 412 subs..... I was convinced you had 412K subs. That's how good I think your vids are
Thank you!! I really appreciate that!
👍🏻, just a little tip; it's easier to skive the leather when you wet it (just a bit).
Nice job Ian, I love your edge slicker, I gotta try that.
Nice work! A great sheath for a great knife.
Thanks Bea!

To get a more accurate 2nd outline, use a compass rather than a ruler.
why do people scribble back and forth to make a line? I have noticed many people do this when drawing but I don't understand the purpose.
Супер работа
Genial muy bueno

Yeah, I don't know; a guitar neck might work. I need to get an actual burnishing tool one of these days.

Yes, my next video will have a better soundtrack.
