Making A Fancy Leather Pancake Sheath For My Old Pocketknife - Leather Craft

- Making a tooled leather pocketknife pancake sheath. If you own an old-fashioned pocketknife that lacks a pocket clip like most modern-day pocketknives have, and you’re not fond of it laying at the bottom of your pocket bumping into everything else, then this may be the leather project for you. Made from a minimal amount of natural vegetable tanned leather, this is a great inexpensive beginner project that can be a blank canvas for creating your own unique design with dye colors and tooling patterns. If you want to learn how to layout a pattern for your specific size pocketknife, I recommend checking out this video from saddle maker Don Gonzales:
• How to Make a Pattern ... . He shows his process of laying out and designing a pancake style sheath pattern for any size pocketknife. For my sheath I decided to try an intricate diamond tooling pattern on the front side and a simple border and cross on the back side. But if you want to go with a simpler looking sheath, you can always skip the tooling altogether for a cleaner aesthetic. As far as the color of my sheath, I wanted the sheath to have a ventage look, so instead of applying the dye fade using my airbrush (which gives a consistent looking fade), I applied the dye using a fade technique I learned from leather-craft master Freddie Matara. / freddie.matara.leather . This process involves applying dye using a small piece of compact cloth and rubbing the dye into the leather using small circular motions while allowing some overlap of different color shades to create the fade. After applying the dye in this fashion and after adding some antique paste, the result is a very antique rustic look that makes a new project look well worn and vintage. The sheath is handstitched together using beige colored Tiger Thread which really pops with high contrast against the darker tones of the sheath. I hope you enjoy this leather sheath project video and try making one for yourself.

I can't stop watching your videos, I'm going to refer to you as the Leather Whisperer because the stuff you can do with leather is insane.
Haha thanks !
Cannot say it enough, beautiful work!!
Thank you very much!
Looks very nice. Didn't realize so much time was spent on the dyeing process. The center pattern highlight really pops. Tks!
Thank you. This particular technique does take a little bit of time but it looks cool. You can see the results better on the back side where there is less tooling.
Beautiful workmanship !
Thank you very much.
You have quickly become my favourite leathersmith on CZcams. Great work
Wow, thank you. I appreciate your support.
Beautiful work, as always!!!
Thank you 🙏
I bought the stamps on your suggestion they are more pricey than most but man do they make clean beautiful patterns! Thanks for the suggestion. I am a definitely a new customer. No more wasting money on junk tools!
Awesome!
If you don't mind me asking, what stamps did you purchase. I have watched this video several times and I love it. But I would love to get the stamps that is used. I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me out with the stamp tool numbers.
I aspire to have a workshop like yours someday.
Amazing craftsmanship and wonderfully executed!💞💞💞
Thank you very much.
I am hooked. So therapeutic to watch a master craftsman at work
Thank you. I appreciate your support.
Impeccable!
Thank you.

That ginormus hole punch just isn't fair, mate........ DAMN!!
Man your close up clarity is amazing…….nice videography the leather work is fantastic too….lol
Thank you for your support!
I’m impressed with the straightness of your diamond pattern. I guess the stick is a must as I can’t keep mine equidistant! LOL
Thank you. Yes, I always try to use a guide line to keep things straight.
@@KingdomGloryLeather do you have a “go to” spacing or does it vary? And, what spacing did you use here?
Great wok
pretty cool.
Thanks.

Muy bonito trabajo Amigo saludos! Quisiera saber, quiero aprender! Bendiciones!
Muito lindo seu trabalho
Thank you 🙏
Good video. Great job. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.
Thank you very much!
I was shopping the net to buy a scabbard just like this when I found this video. I have read the other comments and I see that you don't make them to sell...... VERY DISAPPOINTING for me. So, here is my question..... can you direct me to someone who can make one EXACTLY like this one but with basket weave and a Cross on the front? I cannot express deeply enough, EXACTLY like this! Too the exact high quality level of work of this one!! NOTHING LESS! GOD has given you a Very Special GIFT to be able to do this level of work that is for sure! If you can help it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for Glorifying JESUS with your channel! Thank You!
Thank you very much. I’m not sure I know anyone who makes this exact pattern because it is one that I designed myself. But if you are able to find someone who can make you one feel free to have them copy it as much as they like. Again, thank you and I’m sorry I’m not able to help more.
super!
Thanks!
Very nice work. Thank you for sharing. After reading several of the comments below, I found answers to my questions too. Wonderful group.
Thank you. Your welcome.
Muy bonita funda.
Thank you.
Your work is so perfect. Can I ask what your line spacing measures. I haven’t been able to get the hang of it yet. You make it look super cool
Thank you very much! the spacing for the tooling pattern is 4mm.
Saludos👍👍👍
Después de ver todo el proceso, ya me decidí....mejor me la compró hecha. 🤣
😂
i need more dyes
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
😁
Silly question from someone that is new leather crafting, would you flip the template over to make a left-handed sheath?? BTW, I'm learning so much from watching you and others of your skillset. Thanks for putting out wonderful content!
Thank you so much. The way these sheaths are made they can go on the left side of your body or the right side. It works either way. But if you have different designs on each side of the sheath you need to be mindful when making it that you put your show side design on the correct piece.
I also put a cross on my leather work, because the Lord gave me that talentu👍
👍👍
As someone who is interested in getting into leather work I picked up a few tips just from watching you. I like the dauber you made with the orange handled clamp, neat idea. One suggestion though; maybe slow down and show the labels a little more clearly? If someone is interested in learning this skill they are probably going to be interested in the products you use. I could even read the label on one bottle after three tries at half speed.
Thank you. I have a full list of all the tools and materials I use on this project in the video description for your convenience.
Too.satisfying when you use them nice KS Blades! What size are the blades/thread? Also..that dye job was the way it should be done! I Really can’t complain about anything bro, really clean job! Thanks new sub here
Thank you. Those are 4mm diamond tooth punches and the thread is 0.6mm Tiger Thread.
You are a very fast sewer but your work is excellent 🏴
Thank you.
Thank you for your video, I have two questions? why did you put the tape on the back, and can you convert this pattern to make a single mag pouch. love this design thank you so much.
chet
Thanks. The tape is to prevent the leather from stretching and deforming during the tooling process. As far as converting, I’m not sure.
Really nice work. I have a question regarding wet forming and tooling leather. Do you tool before you wet form or wet form before you tool?
Thanks. In my experience if I’m doing any wet forming I usually don’t tool those particular pieces.
The Osborne 1-3/4” punch, how hard is it to cut thru the leather. I just got one and I am having a hard time punching thru. It has been sharpened by the person who sold it to me.
What is your table and base that you are using under the punch?
I use a rubber mallet and mine cuts through leather pretty easy. I have never really had any trouble punching through. I have a 1.5” thick piece of granite under my punching mat.
I'm fairly new to leather crafting, a few projects under my belt. As others I'm learning from you and others, my question is, why the tape?
Thank you. I get this question a lot. The tape keeps the leather from stretching and deforming while tooling. Once all the tooling is done you can take the tape off the backside.
sweet, may I ask where you got the S723 Diamond Stamp? Searching did not turn up a result.
Proleathercarvers.com
I couldn’t quite see the bottle, but are you using some sort of deglazer to fade the dye?
No deglazer, just regular Fiebing’s leather dye followed by Fiebing’s antique.
Hello, very nice job. Dar I ask which leather glue do you use?
Hello. I use EcoWeld contact adhesive. Everything I use is listed in the description.
@@KingdomGloryLeather
I would really like to have one made for my Jumbo Trappers , I've looked and looked for a production model but no one makes one for the Jumbo Trapper .
Sorry I am currently not selling. I appreciate your interest.
Do you take the packing tape off after you finish the tooling? Or is it just while you case the leather?
Take it off after tooling.
I've never seen the tape method what's the point??
Buen dia. Saludos desde ARGENTINA. Te pido si podrias nombras las herramientas que usas y los quimicos. Seria de gran ayuda para mi
Hola, todo lo que uso en ese proyecto se encuentra en la descripción del video. Espero que esto ayude.
This is beautiful. I was looking to see if you had a store I could order from?
Thank you. Sorry I do not, it is mostly a hobby for me. I appreciate your interest.
@@KingdomGloryLeather No worries, I get it. I'm a woodworker and I only build things for me and my family. I'm Always looking to support those in the Kingdom. Sad I can't purchase your stuff, but looking forward to watching more videos.
Thanks, God bless.
Thank you
What is the punch that you use to make the large holes for the belt
1-3/4” oval punch for C.S. Osborne
I have a question. I am using the same light brown you are but it is turning out very maroon. are you thining out your dye? or am i just over saturating the leather? my light brown looks like your dark chocolate.
Yes it is cut with alcohol 5 to 1. I put this information in the video description list, but I should have added that info in the video itself.
@@KingdomGloryLeather I should have read it ty
Hey man!
Do you do custom holsters?
Sorry I am currently not selling. I appreciate your interest.
What are those flat applicators you use for dying the insides of the belt loops?
Don’t know what they are called. Found them on eBay but I can’t seem to find them again.
Cool. THANKS for trying. I love your videos
👍🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪
Thanks.
Hi my name is Ian and you do excellent work. I am keen to get a hold of your template for this pocket knife sheath. Is this possible?
Thank you. I do not have a template available. But if you check out a link in the description to Don Gonzales, he has a video on how to make one.
¡¡¡CHAPÓ!!!
Good morning, I hope you are well, I want to ask you something, how can I get something similar to what you use to put the small drops of tokonole?
Search for needle bottles on eBay.
@@KingdomGloryLeather Thank you 🫶
What Ounce of leather would be best for this kind of project?
4oz, around 1.5mm
Great video and fine leatherwork! Do you have links to the stamps? I can’t seem to find them on Weaver or Tandy. Thank you in advance.
Thank you. Try proleathercarvers.com/
@@KingdomGloryLeather thank you and happy New Year!
Same to you.
@@KingdomGloryLeather would you purchase the 4mm punches again or would you go with a different size? Just curious.
4mm is a good size for small goods. I have a cheaper set of 6mm irons I use for bags and larger projects.
I really enjoyed watching you work, but with all the time in making this work of art, what would you charge? I would think that there would be more time in the workthann in what the peace is worth.
Thanks. If I was to sell one like this, I would have to change around $50 to $70.

What stamp are you using for the diamond pattern
#S723
Great job I’ve been wanting a nice leather holster for my 1911 with light in that style but every time I see one they aren’t made for lights and quality isn’t great
очень круто выглядит. сделай кобуру для смартфона)
Спасибо. Хорошая идея.
Out of curiosity, what's with the packing tape on the back side?
Applying tape on the back of the leather before tooling prevents the leather from stretching and deforming.
@@KingdomGloryLeather OH!!! That's an awesome tip!!! I'm just getting into leather craft myself. Made a few wallets and belts so far!!
@@KingdomGloryLeather once the tape is removed, what is applied to that area, I assume its to seal the rough grain? Thank you.
When did the tape come off?
After tooling.
Where can I find those tools you are using
Try: Weaver Leather Supply, Tandy Leather, RM Leather Supply, Buckleguy, Pro Leather Carvers…etc.
Donde se puede comprar una funda en espania
Sorry I am currently not selling.
Cómo se llama ese tipo de funda
Not sure.
En cuánto las ase compare con envío a México me interesa
Lo siento, actualmente no vendo. Gracias por su interés.
Gracias campeón
What an amateur! He cuts and front and a back right away. Unlike pros like me who cut like 6 fronts before remembering to flip the danged pattern! ;). Well done!
What thread do you use and number
Everything I use can be found in the description.
What oz leather
3-4oz
Where can I order one..?
Sorry I am currently not selling.
Why do you tape the backs?
When you tool/stamp wet leather it can stretch and deform. The tape helps prevent the leather from stretching while tooling. When done tooling you take the tape off.
@@KingdomGloryLeather thank you for the reply. That was very informative. I got some stamps for Christmas and I am looking for all the tips I can get!
Pattern available for this project
Sorry no, but check the link in the video description to Don Gonzales. He shows how to make a pattern.
Why do you put packaging tape over the smooth surface and do you ever remove it. New leather worker who loves your work, but I am confused by the tape.
I just read the answer in a reply to some one else who asked the same question. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge. God bless you.
Thanks. I put tape on the backside of the leather to help prevent it from stretching & deforming during the tooling process. One done and dry I remove the tape.
Can you sell me one?
Sorry I am currently not selling. I appreciate your interest.
