Fantastic - your the best
Thank you RLD!! Your kind words are appreciated
I keep watching your videos and learning so much! Thank you! I'll be making my first sheath soon and I'll share a photo when it's done
Thanks Jason I sincerely appreciate the kind words I’m excited to see your sheath and I’m confident you’ll do well One piece of advice is take your time with the pattern process and do several versions until it feels right. Have fun and don’t hesitate to reach out if needed
Georgie Boy, I always learn when I watch you vid's. Thank you.
Thanks Tony!! Even if it’s just one tidbit that you can use or alter that makes my day 🙌
love it that is beautiful work George
Thanks Brandon!!!
Great video. Keep up the great work. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.
I’m so appreciative of your support!
Awesome works thanks for these very informative and easy to follow videos, learn more from your TH-cam channel about leather working than any other I have watched.
Thanks Michael I appreciate that more than you know. 🙌🤙
Great video. Thanks - I liked the way you did the keeper and protected the snap hitting the knife blade. keep them coming.
Thank you Stephen 🙌🤙
Thanks for sharing you information please keep them coming great info
Thank you Mark. I appreciate the time you took to say so. 🙌
That p38 screwdriver tip is brilliant! Definitely gonna use that . Thanks!
It is super handy for so many uses. Thanks friend
Simply a work of art! Great job as usual!
Thanks Mason Too kind!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge in knife sheath school!! I look forward to these videos...I always gain something even though I have been at it a while!
Thanks Joan I appreciate that 🙌
almost 4000 subscribers, this channel is growing fast. another great video.
Thanks Eric 👍🙌
Love your videos. thank you for taking the time to do them!
Thank you for you kind words as well!!
Some great ideas for the beginner (myself). Love the lines around the stitching, never considered that before, but will do from now. Keep them coming George. Thank you
I appreciate the kind words Andy and so glad something was helpful to ya. After you scribe the lines with the wing divider you can achieve more depth and burnish if you run a bone folder along the lines I think I show that alittle clearer in my Tips video volume 8 Thanks again!!
Beautiful. Thank you
Thank you B Hepburn!
I just got a Buck 119 for Christmas. I would normally be keen to make a sheath for it, but the one that came with it is pretty solid. I will say your sheath is very nice. 👍
Thanks John. Love the classic 119 The factory sheaths from Buck are better then most
Another amazing video , thx again 🙏i have Been leather crafting 2 years and your video are so helpful , would be fun if we could shere some fotos what we begginers have Done ✅ best regards Jonas
Thanks Jonas Id love to see those photos! I’m on Instagram at ViktorGeorgeLeatherGoods easily shared on that platform
Great video. I have been making custom sheaths and holsters for a few years. You're ways and style are similar to mine. But, I have learned some very helpful tips. I am very grateful that you are sharing your knowledge.
Thank you Ray for the kind words. It’s always nice hearing from my fellow leatherworkers and peers We are the best community of Makers!!
Great upgrade for a classic knife! 50 years ago my first folding knife was a buck, over the years I’ve bought a dozen more bucks , love them! Also the mention of the p38 brought back a bunch of memories, i was issued one back in 1974, of course then we had c rats and needed them, don’t know if they are still issued with today’s mre’s, thanks for another great video! Cheers
Absolutely agree on the Buck knives I’ve owned dozens but wish I still had the 110 from my youth daze Oh the stories! I joined in 1974 too and wish I’d kept a few of the b & c rations with the 2 pack of smokes and P-38 in em 🇺🇸🤙
I've still got a p38. Its not the original though. I made a leather sheath for it and it hangs on my key chain.
I really love the teaching bro!! Keep it coming!
Thank you SZ I appreciate the nod and I’m finally working on a new Volume so stay tuned my friend
Dang, I love this design
Sorry for the delay in responding. Thank you so much for saying so I appreciate your kind words
Nice video George.. really like the safety strap integral to the sheath… but the way, half way between the 5/8 & 3/4 measurement is 11/16’s… had to George….!
😂😂Only you Harley😂 but now I know!!
Saludos estimado Viktor, cada video que tu subes es una verdadera clase maestra para quienes estamos en el mundo de la cuchilleria , por favor un consejo: aca en Ecuador no tenemos TOKONOLE, que podria usar ???? para dejar los bordes de las fundas brillantes y suaves como tu los dejas , muchas gracias , un abrazo desde Ecuador
Thank you Gustavo Very nice of you to say. I don’t use tokenol You can use a bar of glycerin saddle soap or liquid saddle soap, beeswax or just water. The trick to smooth shiny edges comes with hand sanding your edges. Start with 220 grit, then 400-600-800-1000 grit sandpaper and your edges will shine.
@@viktorgeorge9144 muchas gracias , Viktor , excelente solución
P38 screwdriver - Brilliant... Mine is still hanging with my dog tags.... Time to grind me a P38 screwdriver now.....
Absolutely I initially made one for cutting out the background on my filligree Western belts. Works great Thank you. P-38 for the win!
For my first ever knife sheaths, I followed your video for the KBar magnetic retention sheath. My first one of the five I made, the knife was very difficult to remove. It turned out that my welt was thinner than the blade. If you mentioned that in your instructions m I missed it, so to all us newbies…make sure your welt material is as thick as your knife blade.
Thank you Alan for highlighting that. I’m sorry it gave you difficulty Yes the welt needs to be firm good quality leather and normally I cut it from 8 to 10 oz vegtan
I had to check😂 and for that KaBar magnet sheath I suggested an 8oz welt at 18:35 Thanks again Alan That helps me fine tune my presentation for future builds🙌
That is a tremendous job George ! I love it!. I pick up some "nuggets" of info from all of your videos and appreciate your sharing of great information!. I have gotten into doing more sheaths, and really like doing them. Your work is the benchmark for me to strive to attain! Can you tell me what you use to do the edge lines? I mean the area like on the belt loop portion. I cant seem to ever get mine to look that good. Thanks!
Thanks as always Fred for your positivity and support. Actually those crease lines are achieved by those wing dividers followed up with that plastic bone folder The leather must be lightly moistened to take a deeper crease line. Cheap n quick😂
@@viktorgeorge9144 You know, I knew the answer would make me whack myself in the head and say " DUH" !! lol I have been trying to use one of those cheap adjustable creasers from Tandy, for years, and never really got the results I liked. I thought about getting some of those fancy edge creasers, but only are one size, and a little pricy! I think my method was not the best either, always tried to do it in a single pass, but like I said... duh on my part !! Wrong tool, too wet, trying to do it in one pass, IMPATIENCE... etc . If and when I overcome those, I am sure they will get better. Sad thing is, I have a set of dividers I can sand down, got the bone folder, or folders! And could have been doing it this way all along! Time for a little polishing and practicing Thanks again sir. Looking forward to the next one!
😂thanks Fred This simple technique resulted out of necessity decades ago and even tho the cool tools are now in abundance I still prefer the simplicity and results of this method
Good day Sir
Love the way you explain and do your sheaths. I was wondering what will be your take on a machette with the tip of the blade end is larger then the beginning. I have a few military machette and would be curious on on your put your twist on it. Great job my friend.
Thank you RLW! Those style of knives make it more challenging because of that shape. I’ve made several scabbards for those but it’ll never be form fitting otherwise it’ll never come out of the sheath Good luck!
Nice , I was wondering if you had ever tried to stamp a belt after you glued the liner on ? Buddy of mine decided he wanted it stamped after I’d glued the liner on and never had tried it before. Appreciate the videos.
Thanks Don. I think that would depend on how thick both layers of the belt are and if it’s been sealed with waxes or acrylic. At least worth a try somewhere near the turn back so if not no harm! Thx for your support
@@viktorgeorge9144 George the liner 3. 4. and the top is 8 9 . I just didn’t want to ruin it but all I’ve done so far is oiled it . Thanks
I just wish sheath makers would mount the snap strap so there is no chance of slicing it while withdrawing the knife
Not always possible to do. The knife itself and how it’s carried and the customers desired sheath style
Great video. Thanks. How do you deal with leather stretch from tooling the pre-cut front panel? Thanks.
Thank you Russell. You can stick some blue painters tape on the flesh side. That’ll do it
I like yr watch! Could you please tell me what brand that is? and model... , especially that compass is my favorite, it's very useful, 🤝
Sorry for the delay in responding Tim.
I’ve been out of town This one is a Citizen Quartz analog Military with a slide on compass
@@viktorgeorge9144 thank, like your style !
I am trying to make a similar type sheath. The knife is an Ontario Knife Company “Afghan”. The blade is 1/4” thick and the handle is 1/4” wood on either side of the 1/4” tang.
I am using 9/10 oz leather. Can you recommend how many layers of leather I should use?
If you’re talking about the welt thickness I would first place by gluing one layer of welt (9/10oz) onto the sheath face and then sandwich the pieces together You should be able to guesstimate if another layer of welt is needed. Remember you can skive the welt down to the thickness needed. So hard to explain that in words tho. Good luck
@Viktor George, Where's a good place to get leather for knife sheaths? What weights would you suggest? Would the belt loop be a different weight? Same for the security strap? Thanks!
Hello David For most fixed blade knife sheaths 8/9oz VegTan leather is the norm. Smaller pouch sheaths can go 6/7oz but also depends on the size and weight of the folding knife. Think Buck 110 versus a Case Trapper for example. Traditions Leather in Oklahoma is a great leather resource but of course Tandy leather is a good place to go in person to pick out. Their European bends are a good way to go. Yes all the straps and add on belt loops would be of the same weight
Hi George...please let us know how to prepare wire on the needle for stiching...I lost how to do the node...😊
Of course. I’ll show that on my next video. Look out for Volume 5. Thank you
Thanks a lot!!
I added a quick clip on Vol 5 to show Have a great day
Are or have these been on sale, if so, can you make one for 119 and a 120?
Sorry to say I no longer do commissions. If you need help finding other sheath makers just holler
How can I purchase sheath for my knives and Bowie knives
Hello Will. I’m not able to take on any more custom orders at this time as I’m a one man shop with too many back orders
#12
I’m referring to Volume 12 in my Knife Sheath School for the pancake style option Just about any knife could be made into a pancake sheath
