Thanks! I am gonna use some thread instead of the rivets as they where just a test to see if it would fit, and I can probably make an endless amount of these pouches since theres always a bus that need seatbelt changeA quick pouch for my spartan made from seatbelt and rivets, took 10 minutes at work this mornig(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171220/664b4efa94f2396d10c8fb930f548f09.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171220/a7c291363142b63a295028d1c418db2b.jpg)

If stitching with a large needle, use something to push it through, over time the fingers are going to be VERY sensitive!
Forming, make sure you use plenty of extra, makes it much more easier and it can always be cut off,
Oh a little trick I like, if punching holes for the stitching, you can also use a dremel/ rotary tool with a very small bit 10times more easy, you don’t have to push so hard! Hope this helps..

Buy cheap leather to work out patterns on before trying an idea on expensive stuff unless you're sure of yourself. I use my leatherman all the time to pull the needle through the leather, far easier on my fingers. Measure out more thread than you think you need, thread is cheap, far cheaper than your time having to undo an entire line of stitching and redoing it because you guessed wrong. Use a very sharp thin knife to cut the leather for a clean cut.

Not even close to some of the other work in here but I'm just getting started and this is my second attempt to something serious (first was a wallet for a friend). While doing the spirit x 30 days challenge I realized that horizontal carry was the way to go. So I made a leather sheath with magnet closure. I have found a number of thing I should have done differently so consider this a prototype. But it does the job and rides nice on the belt. Not wetformed but still a nice snug fitGood looking prototype And it looks very functional, which is most important
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180611/cf5b9b8d33db8af31c925f68d0f8526e.jpg)
I dyed it after a was done and unfortunately I got a bit messy with the glue

Looking good! I guess practice is the keyTotally! I made one other one for a friend and it was perfect, only thing was it was a kit! Some of these leather stores have kits where everything’s cut to size, the edges are nice and smooth and there pre-poked for stitching, and the only thing you have to do is glue some things, stitch them, and put a button or magnet on, only thing is the size, normally isn’t always right for your item, you want one for a flashlight and it’s a maglite, that and the holes for the stitching are huge!

I have never tried a kit. Might be good to get some nice patternIdk about over your way but here’s an idea of what I was talking about. It’s a combo, knife/flashlight. But as you can see it’s made specifically for a maglite, as for the knife/tool idk? But you get pieces pre-cut and ready to put together, same with the button along with the needle and thread. What you don’t get is the design, the leather is just plain so you can make it the way you want, but they do put the pattern on paper for the possibility..

I have found that the caddy, makes carrying somethings, a Buck 110 for instance, much more comfortable. :tu:
Nice caddy! Does it feels lighter in the pocket with the different weight distribution?

Here's my first and only crack at making a sheath. I needed a larger sheath for a modified Rev, so used my Wave sheath as a guide.
One added feature that is quite handy is the elastic pocket inside so you can carry one of the plastic bit holders.
Or between your legs :dwts:Lol.. ouch!

Read through this thread last night. Some really good work here! :salute:
I've been looking at leather pocket slips online for the last few months. Lots of companies on Instagram and Etsy making some nice items. Most of them are US or Europe based and with exchange and shipping would cost more than I'm willing to pay, so I purchased a leather stitching kit (for half the cost of a slip) and thought I'd have a go at making some myself.
Here's the result:

I'm pleased. The knife and light fit really well, and I had fun making them. I do have some questions if anyone wants to answer them...
I didn't glue the edges together. Do you guys glue before you stitch? If so what glue do you like to use?
I burnished the edges where the stitching is with water and saddle soap, then rubbed on some beeswax based leather care product (I use it on my work boots usually). I'm assuming having glued edges makes the finished burnished edge look way better. Would it work better to burnish the edges first then glue and stitch?, as now that it is stitched I can't burnish the top edges. Any tips on burnishing?
Forgot to upload this here.. But here it is, my first real sheath. It's a sheath for a bacho lapplander saw and it has a normal belt loop and a optional dangler

WOW! Your stitching and general leather work is so clean!! I tip my hat to you.Thanks
BTW - Yellow SAK..my favorite. I have a bunch and EDC a yellow Huntsman!
Here is a sheath I form fitted to my AG Russell Arkansas Hunter. I used the knife to outline the leather, then, after the sheath was completed, I dipped it in a bowl in which I poured boiling water. I wrapped the knife well in saran wrap and put it into the sheath. After drying, I burnished the edges, and used a deer antler to shape the sheath to the knife. I finally treated the leather with mink oil to condition it. The knife now snaps into the sheath like it is made of kydex.
Keep in mind, boiling leather can be a tricky business, I have had sheaths shrivel up like a salted slug. Also, make sure the sheath is 100% dry before carrying your knife in it.

Finished a sheath for the Swisstool. Took a different approach this time, and I have to say I kinda like it. Makes for a thinner profile. This sheath is the same size as the one I made for the PST, yet the Swisstool is much larger. More efficient space usage I guess. :hatsoff:

Very nice work. Heck I'd be proud to make quality like your prototype.Thanks! I have change some things with it after I made it so the new with red stitching is the final form I think
Nice job, love the black / red, my only thing is I’d go nuts not having a flap to make sure it stays in, especially being tilted rather then up and down,I thought about that and I planed for it in the beginning but I made it really really snug and the locktabs helps a lot, they have to be cimpressed for it to go in to the sheath and provide God tension, I have held it upside down and shaken like a madman and there is no falling out
JR
Thanks! It's a snap button and the other part are on my belt, snaps in and don't fall of when I'm taking on and off f my pants

Just finished up my first sheath project! I put new scales on a Camillus Blackriver, and wanted a new sheath to replace the crappy one that came with it. I’m really happy the way it came out. A few things I will do differently in the future, but it worked out :D
:hatsoff: Well done.
Great job on both knife and sheath dude - she will treasure them for sure :cheers:
Here’s the knife. The blade is made out of a small file and the scales are from some red oak that didn’t work out with my previous knife project. The linseed oil helped the color come out a bit.
Wow! When I first saw the sheath, I tought the knife was way bigger than that!
:o :o
Pretty kewl project. The end result is great! I bet she loves it! Well done!

Nice work '60 - very neat.Thanks Mags. Shortage of leather led to a design fault. :D Now rectified somewhat with version 2. :cheers:
This video has a pretty good Explanation : the saddle stitch starts at about 2:50. I can’t find the video that really helped me understand, but once you try the 2 needle technique, it’s not too hard to get the hang of and looks great.

Nice sheath. Hows the retention on it?
Nice job! Never worked with kydex before, how is it to work with?
Pretty good. I made the fit very tight. I won't be taking the lighter out until it's empty, I think it'll keep the retention, even when I have changed the lighters inside a few times.

I was wanting to edc a fixed blade, but thought, why not just carry an awesome pioneer x open? This was the result. What ya all think?
Interesting concept, does it work well for you? I've been considering something similar for a 111 mm mod I'm planning.
I made the sheath along with the copper scales for this tiny ruike knife.

Something different. Was a fun build. I think I got my paracord badge for this one.
Thanks!Very nice job! And very true, I bought a super cool flashlight was waaay more powerful then a aa maglite, and I liked combo sheaths, only problem was my sheath wouldn’t fit it, so the night I got home I spent like 4hrs making that one way to the left, not the best but it worked, it held what I needed, the wife was mad cause I had work the next day and I was up till like 12am, I so wanted a leather sheath but knew nothing about them nor did I have money to buy a custom one, so I looked into it and made that next piece of junk, very ugly but then again it worked, learned a few things and liked the concept of a pancake, so that’s what I went with, so I made the middle one, that middle one had to have seen a good 5yrs of field work, was even in my accident, the last two I just decided to make because I was bored, the last is for my sak, but the unique thing about that one is it’s not dyed with like rits, I found some way with I think vinegar and rust, stunk like wow, I kept it in the window between the window and the screen to get it to lose some of the stench, before moving to the next step and assembling it, I’ll admit there not the best looking but they did the job and I kept learning!!

You want a flashlight with it, or not? :pok: :DIdk, maybe, I just haven’t found that perfect flashlight,,
Very functional, great work! :like:It sure is, thanks!
Excellent work Kotty :like:Thanks!
Very nice job! And very true, I bought a super cool flashlight was waaay more powerful then a aa maglite, and I liked combo sheaths, only problem was my sheath wouldn’t fit it, so the night I got home I spent like 4hrs making that one way to the left, not the best but it worked, it held what I needed, the wife was mad cause I had work the next day and I was up till like 12am, I so wanted a leather sheath but knew nothing about them nor did I have money to buy a custom one, so I looked into it and made that next piece of junk, very ugly but then again it worked, learned a few things and liked the concept of a pancake, so that’s what I went with, so I made the middle one, that middle one had to have seen a good 5yrs of field work, was even in my accident, the last two I just decided to make because I was bored, the last is for my sak, but the unique thing about that one is it’s not dyed with like rits, I found some way with I think vinegar and rust, stunk like wow, I kept it in the window between the window and the screen to get it to lose some of the stench, before moving to the next step and assembling it, I’ll admit there not the best looking but they did the job and I kept learning!!Thanks! And the same to you!

Here's mine! It works well with a 108mm GAK and a Minimag Flashlight.
Wow... awesome work Tinner :like:
:like: That stamp is cool. :hatsoff: I may have to steal your idea and try my hand at making my own.Believe it or not it wasn’t hard, well, if you have a Dremel/rotary tool,
Thanks for the hints. Mine should be easy to make as my initials are MW. Upside down, backwards, forwards, same same lol. As long as I don’t get too fancy. I’m sure I’ll still find a way to mess it up.Well the nice thing with the bolt is if you screw up you can just file it flat and do it over, but only one or two times,, getting into the M or W you might be better off with a very small square file and just work the angles / \ / \ util you get the letters made, because a rotary tools going to be round, unless you use a disk and cut like a saw,, all depends on how you want to make it?
When I mark my tools at work for identification I use M , with all the legs touchingSo something like this? To stamp the mark? I just hit the bolt with a hammer, or do you mean to make the sheath?
W
I do like the overlapped version you drew though. What are you using to press it into the leather? Arbour press? I have one, but it is rather large, that I use for pressing out bearings and such on my ATV.
So something like this? To stamp the mark? I just hit the bolt with a hammer, or do you mean to make the sheath?
JR
Yes, like that minus the horizontal line. Two diamonds side by side.Nope, leather needs to be a little damp, line it up as to where you want it and give it a good hit with a hammer! Your done,, if the stamp isn’t deep enough you gotta get the stamp back into its little grove and make sure you don’t double stamp it, but then just tap it again until you get the right depth, if you over strike it then well it’s going to be a little too deep.. I mean as far as a press the closest thing I’ve used are clamps, in order to make the sheath I posted I took two pieces of wood, made a cut to fit the knife, then put the leather over the knife and clamped the two pieces together stretching the leather out in order to fit the knife, then used the same setup to clamp the two pieces of leather when gluing, here’s a quick show of how,
And yes, to stamp the mark. I have seen a few videos with guys putting their makers mark on leather products with a stamp in an arbour press. I just assumed that there was a requirement to hold pressure on the stamp for a bit to set the image. If whacking it with a hammer works, well, I am a pro at hitting stuff with hammers lol.
Here’s another of my creations. Both the knife and sheath. The knife is made from O1 tool steel with a handle made from Cocobolo. Flat ground with a cold blue finish to give it the patina look. The sheath is made as a scout carry with a ferro rod incorperated. Right hand draw.:like: Both sheath and knife look great!

Couple axe sheaths. Mora Garberg danlr sheath, and a Benchmade Puuko.
I do a lot of leather, my first tries were when I was a kid and needed something to carry a fixed blade I snatched from the yard at our farm. I wasn't really allowed (but wasn't explicitly forbidden also :whistle: ) to carry knives so no folding knife back then. I didn't have any idea what exactly I was doing, it was quite before the youtube tutorials era, but I got one of my mother's older purses which had a bit thicker bottom. Cut out a piece and stitched a sleeve style sheath for my knife. I was so happy I could now stick it in my pants (cause I didn't make a belt loop) and walk around with it :D. Sadly I don't have pictures of it but it might still be around in that old house my grandmother lived in.
Quite some time has passed since then, I feel like I live in completely different world now. Yet some things don't change - I still love knives (and I now have considerate amount of them) and I still deal with leather (but now I use appropriate type of leather and know what I'm doing). And even though I now live in big (for our country) city I often sheath carry my knives and almost always my multitools. Here are some photos of my leatherwork, hope you enjoy them.

I'd say you're good enough to transition up to leather.
:cheers: :tu:
I started to carry a scissors for leather work lately so I make a sheath for it. I think it turned rather swell.
Added a sheath / pocket to my boots. Perfect for my Alox Pioneer(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210927/d4bba73a73bc84727df1495de79c00e7.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210927/786cbddecd50985d8a71fae6f84e4a1d.jpg)

Yes, and with this one I wasn't sure I made the right decision but when he out it on his belt and I could see it hanging this was the right combo. He was happy about it and it looked good on his side so that was a success.
He have done another knife that I have here to make a sheath when time arrives

@pfrsantos , the knife is from 2medc. Mercury knives is about to make production versions of some of his designs

Looked through your pics... nice gears, did you make any of that jewellery?Thanks for looking and glad yuo liked it! :cheers:
That sheath is excellent. Well done. :drool:Thank you! It only took me two tries to make it -the leather I used for my first try was too so the retention was weak
I finally tried to make a wet molded sheath. Turned out nice enough -at the second try. The leather I used for my first try was too thin so it didn´t provide a good retention. On the second one I used thicher leather and the retention is really good.

I finally got round to ordering some new leather and making a new belt pouch. Specifically for a 3-4 layer SAK with the required additional thickness over my previous pouch. It's a horizontal pouch which is my preference, over built but then when you see the old version of this pouch (last pic) which has been on my belt almost every single day for 5 years (holy leather patina batman!), you can see why I like to build them strong! I built it a bit more simply than the previous one which had high end Horween leather, a fancier X stitch and had a smooth leather interior for an easier slide in and out but this one was me trying to work out if I still remembered how to make this model and I used a simpler Crazy Horse leather, simpler stitches, etc. It's not perfect by any means but it's more than sufficient till I have the energy to do it again in Horween with the posh stitching.Nice one! Can't beat horizontal carry, my preference is slightly tilted. But I love the looks of the old worn one

On the second one I used thicher leather and the retention is really good.Wet molded looks so nice, it's sometimes hard to find the right thickness to let it have retention but still form nicely. Good work

How do those slanted sheaths feel? I thought about getting one of those, but was affraid it wouldn't be very confortable when sitting down.

Couple of sheaths I made.Nice work! Love the style
This one is for the bride. I made her one for her $220 Benchmade but she wanted one for her $22 Buck. :think:
Looks pretty good! :tu: I might need to bang up a few slips soon.
Nice sheaths Jpac! Could I ask what that clip is on the sheath on the right?
Beautiful work!

Making a few of these slips. Tried antiquing and airbrushed fade on this one. I’ve never used an airbrush before and it shows. Should have practiced a bit more :dunno:. Still think it turned out pretty good.

Can I ask you something? I make my sheaths from tanned leather, but apply no product on them. Because of that, sometimes the copper pieces in some knives, after being stored there, gain that green (verdigris?) layer, due to oxydation. Is there any product(s) you apply to your leather, so as not to cause this?
Thanks!
I’d agree hobby but at a professional level! I can do my basics but they look nothing like yours, yet one other thing I did was take company made and customized them, as you can see in the pic I ripped all the stitching out and then restitched it with red, but then also added stitching around the flap to give it a little more umph,, but the top one is one I made from scratch.. I didn’t have any dye, so what household liquid changes the tan to black, vinegar? All I know is it spent like two weeks between the window and screen cause it stunk!
JR
(...)Yup, that's what I'm doing now.
I am still exploring products to apply to protect the leather and the object. I like using acrylic Resolene to seal the leather and weather proof it. I mix it roughly 50/50 with water and mix then apply with a flannel like cloth in a circular motion. In addition to protecting the leather it stops dye rub off on clothes. I would imagine that it would protect against oxidation for anything inside the sheath if the inside of the sheath is treated. Although, it might be best to store knives that tarnish easily seperate from their sheath.
