Making a new unique "leather"sheath for the "Pharmber"
on: November 06, 2014, 01:51:33 AM
OK, so Ive been pondering about an idea, i have a couple diff sheaths for my syph custom Pharmber sak, but you can never have too many right? well i love a pancake sheath/holster, i think there the best because of having the two slots for the belt, this way you can put the belt loop behind it or you can put the sheath between loops this way it doesn't move much.. so heres what i came up with so far, the one design is just a little bigger then the other, that's pretty much it, so i went with the smaller one. this is as far as i can go for now, i ran out of snaps so i couldn't put one in, as far as string to stitch it, well i have some, but im waiting for a special one, along with special snaps, lol. as for coloring im going to try a little something called "Vinegaroon" and no not some bug, you take wool pad and stick it in a jar along with vinegar and let it sit for about 4-5 days. the vinegar breaks down the wool, and it looks clear as you wipe it on the leather(or wood) but then the chemical reaction turns the leather BLACK! thus why i wanted a diff string, i want RED! i think thats going to look cool! same with the snaps i got gunmetal, rather then silver. i cant wait! let me know what you guys think of the idea and the project so far? JR

Heres a pic to give you an idea of how i shifted it, this way it will be leaning forward rather then just up and down, think of the gray strip as a belt..

Looking at your FBI Cant sheath I am not sure I agree with what you say. That Zermatt sheath looks pretty nice though. Just another excuse to pick up a CT Lite.

What do you mean by fbi? The Zermatt also comes in black, so I was also thinking of seeing about getting one and cutting the string out and restitching it with the red, so we'll see. JR

FBI refers to a style of holsters used for pistols that have a 15 degree forward cant to make them more comfortable.

Most people agree it was made by the Federal Bureau of Investigations Firearms Unit. Some say it was made for comfort, safety or speed. Maybe a combination of these factors. It is accepted that it is in no way faster then a straight drop holster, though I can see an argument for safety and comfort. Also with some firearms it may hide a bit better.

Hey MP since you are into the whole leather thing could you direct me to something I could use to make a Wenger sheath more darker brown?

This one.

Nice sheath! It doesn't look sealed? If not look up Tandy leather(one of a few), and you can get a dye, all you would have to do is apply it to change the color, but then buff it to seal it, another way is get a dark shoe polish, and RUB it in! JR
   What's the name of that one(besides the Wenger)?

Nope not sealed.

89804 "natural color"
89803 black color

Those are the model numbers, they are made by Wenger.

I'm going to guess on the back there's two holes on the top and two holes on the bottom and just a line cut between the two for a belt loop? Or is there an actual piece of leather? JR

Pretty sure I saw an actual piece of leather but I did a lot of looking around at sheaths so who knows for sure.

If you look in my Wenger question thread in the SAK forum area there were some people who know a lot more about them then I do.

No biggie, I have enough crap! But that is a nice thick leather sheath, especially with the rivets on top! I think I have a few, maybe I'll put them on the one I'm making :think: JR

Did another check on the solution, you can see I did four so far, just dipped a q-tip in and swiped it across, each time it's gotten darker, so maybe by tomorrow I'll put it on the sheath? As you can see in the jar it's ugly! I couldn't find any freaking steel wool at the store, only the non rusting kind and well that wouldn't work, so I went in the basement to see what I could find, needless to say I pile of rust and threw in a few screws, and well, it's working, so I'm not complaining! I have another jar so when it's done breaking down I'll put a coffee filter in the other and pour this one in,, this way it won't have all the crap in it.. JR
