That sounds like a reasonable approach. I haven't tried wet molding yet, but it's definitely something I've been wanting to try. I must learn to burnish first though.

Do you have any photos of the sheath by any chance?

Thank you!

I did not, which is why I have a rivet at the beginning of the stitches.

I'm hoping it'll prevent the seams from being sliced. Although not ideal, I didn't feel comfortable with putting in a welt at my skill level. Maybe next time!

The rivet is made of a softer metal, and it is tight enough that the blade shall not meet the rivet.

I've been meaning to make a sheath for this knife for the longest time.

I found it intimidating as my first sheath, but I eventually found my focus and rhythm.

I stumbled upon some valuable lessons during the journey, but eventually finished what I can now call my own first sheath! Yes! Small steps!

I found bushcraft knives too cumbersome for cooking, kitchen knives too exaggerated for camping, so this 6inch size coupled with the belt loop made the most sense for my purpose.

Thank you kindly for stopping by.

I've never seen it from this perspective before. From this perspective, it makes even more sense to place regulations in order to avoid such circumstances.

It gets me thinking of what methods (on top of taxing megacorps appropriately) we could implement to achieve a narrower wage gap while avoiding the corrupt type of communism.

Hello all.

I'm new to this hobby but have always longed for specific leather attributes to things I already own or want to replace (worn out imitation leather stuff).

I'd like to appreciate the fact that I now have the freedom to create anything I can realistically imagine granted my skill-level.

Since this first piece, I've made a case for my glasses that I've forever wanted to replace, but loved the design of; I've made other sleeves for tools, trying to improve my stitching.

Every new small project excites me so much, especially ones that require new skills.

Thank you all for being such a wonderful community.

And to all that are curious about leathercraft, I'm telling you that you won't regret the journey.
