    making this for a good friend on hear (longers) anyway i thought i would do another build along feel free to copy this one lads as you no i did one with the collar so same rules apply different project right you start by taking your knife and some paper or card up to you draw a line down the middle of the paper place the knife on it so the spine of the knife is on the line then roll the knife over and draw round the knife make sure you draw another line a mm or so off the cutting edge then draw another 1/2" after that in the shape you want your sheath mine is like this then simply fold

    Plz don't think you can build a collar in 10 mins you can't it takes a good while and don't rush it or you will make mistakes like I did on this one trying to get this tutorial done take your time it will look far better in the end

    Thank you If anyone tries this you are best doing a gh style collar they are alot simpler to do the sheath build will start to day I know loads of you have midnights knives so a custom sheath will be just the ticket

    then simply repeat it make the lines up to where you want the d ring but make sure there is a bit of gap or its a twat to sew lol use the priking iron like so then sew again using the method of starting 3 holes back sew to the top then back stich do all this on both sides the strap is long now so you need to measure where the holes are and cut what you don't need off the pics a bit shit i was too close with the flash all cut then finish off the end by dyeing it then burnesh then edge kote then when all this is done wax the collar or whatever you have made i use a old sadlers blen
  23. the big chief
    the stitch i use is a sadle stitch you take a length of thread and put a needle on each end and this also shows you how to lock on ya thread to sew you start 3 holes back and sew up and then back on your self and do the same when you get to the other end .when you have the tread like this in the pic you put the needle through one hole the the other needle through that same hole and this is a sadle stitch plenty of vids on youtube other side sewn then the brass keeper sewn in

    on with the building of the collar i puch holes in both ends of the keeper and on the base of the collar and rivet this in place i then take the leather strap and use this punch on it so i can fit the buckle then i make two guide lines so i can use another tool called a priking iron this makes the holes for the stiching and a awl is used also place on the line and tap it with a hamer you do this on both lines and and do the same when the leather is folded over for the buckle ready for sewing
  25. the big chief
    right guy back on this topic i have done the strap burnished and edge kote put on aswell as making a leather keeper pic of a freshly finished edge
