Gin 496 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Update on some tools Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gin 496 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Oops, forgot the instructions Its just the marking out of the welt, but the use of the safety beveller. Only that one edge shown is trimmed down (tapered), so its a nice fit when the sheath is folded. The beveller is used the same on the visible end of the belt loop. Ready for stitching. The knife is by Smallholder1 off this site. Another great knifemaker Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gin 496 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Oil or wax the blade, then wrap the knife in clingfilm. Soak the sheath without the knife in it, for a few minutes. Then put the knife in the soaked sheath, and using a teaspoon, press around the shape of the handle, pushing the leather into shape. Leave the knife in, and put somewhere warm and dry, like an airing cupboard ( Not on a radiator ) for 24 hours. Remove the knife, and as the leather is still damp, stain it now and put ( just the sheath ) back in the cupboard to dry for another 3 or 4 days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
