My experiments with leather crafts

Post by Rrahulkumar » Mon Jan 05, 2015 1:29 am

Hi

I have been contemplating about making a knife sheath for quite some time..
Finally after a lot of self motivation I finally found time today to make a sheath for my hollow handle survival knife.

Good job.
A creditable first attempt.

@rahul, essdee,
I need a few sheaths made for a couple of knives i have made for myself. Was hoping you guys could help me out. How about a few sheaths in exchange for some 1095 steel blade blanks :D

Some learn by reading. A few by observation. The rest of 'em have to pee on the electric fence.

Sure buddy! Glad to help!

If you can get the 1095 cut and shaped, it will be an added incentive :twisted:
Cheers!

The blanks are cut and ready buddy. Have cut 4 pcs of each knife shape. Will put up some pics to give you a rough idea. The blanks can be collected from me the next time you are here.
