Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades Made a sheath.

I don't take this stuff too seriously but I do indeed have some idea's rolling around in my noodle for next year.
I do a few of these blades every year for gifts and trading fodder but I've only made 4-5 sheaths.
Each one gets a little better though so I'll keep tinkering as long as I can keep the arthritis at bay.

Thanks again for all the help.

Ya done good Charlie.

Fieldgrade did you hand stitch that? It looks really good.

Looks like a professional job too me!

Excellent work.

Yes,,, I'm pretty sure one of my appendages would be sewed to it if I used a machine.



The groves really help keep it straight. Good thing you can't see the back side.

Up date on burnishing.

After stopping at Wal Mart and two different farm stores yesterday I was unable to locate any Saddle soap.
I know,,, farm store's without Saddle Soap??? No shortage of cowboy hats and $50 a bag designer dog food though.

Anyway,,, I got to digging around this morning and found an old bottle of KIWI Camp Dry cleaner/conditioner.
After wetting and applying the KIWI I was able to rub it smooth as glass. No fuzz left what-so-ever.

Probably could have used a little more sanding but it's a 100% improvement !!!!

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Mike (and everyone else).
I'll try and post a pic when the sun comes out.
