Interesting that you went with a brass button instead of a snap. The shape is unusual but attractive. For sheaths, I used to use a basketweave stamp. I would put crescents around the border and do the basketweave at an angle in the center. It looks good and takes little effort. Wet the leather a little before using a stamp. Very nice Leatherman sheath. Best wishes. Gary
Nice work on both of them. I like the stud buttons, easier to open and close and as reliable as the snaps. One hint: if you cut a little line from the center of the hole, you can make the hole smaller/tighter.Like this:(Image removed from quote.)Maybe not such a long cut, I suggest starting small and increasing the cut until the stud can get in the hole.
Cool tip, thanks. I usually like something different to the norm, that's why the shape of the sheath and the stud.
One thing I forgot to mention: the cut should be opposite the tip of the flap, so the stud presses against the round part when closed.
Nice, I haven’t done any leather work in years, it be would fun if the kid asked, I think the last thing I did was attempt to make a sheath but instead I ended up making a special stamp for my JR, I took a simple bolt and used the dermal to carve it out, if you go back to post #429, there’s a pic,, have fun with the kid! JR
I think I remember that actually, I did it the easy way and ordered a stamp on etsy
Nice! ,, I didn’t make these but I ripped the stitching out and restitched them with diff color string to give it a match to the sak’s that I switched the scales on, I also added it to the flap to give it a little more color, the red/black one is the kids, Deadpool is one of his fav characters, and well, the beast is one of mine,,JR
Nice work! I think that's what it's all about. Making your stuff yours, factory making are only suggestions
