Been Working...

Spent a little time at the work table this weekend.

Made a double sheath for my throwing knives. I need to take a pic of it since I oiled and worked it down so that the knives fit more tightly.


Then I made a sheath for one of the skinner knives in my collection. I need to make more sheaths!


And here is a little strike a lite pouch I made with the fire steel attached to the bottom of the bag.

what thickness of leather for knife sheaths
 could you give of a quick rundown of the way to go about it
thanks

I use 5-6 oz veg tan for the knife sheaths. It seems plenty thick for me. Plus it gets pretty hard to poke holes through two layers of 6 oz and a piece of 10 oz that I use for a welt.

Is that skinner a Jeff White knife?  I like your work, especially the strike-a-lite bag.

[RoaringBull]

Yes I believe that it is.

I thought it look like one of Jeff's knives.  I have a trade knife with osage orange handle with Jeff's trademark file work on the spine.
