She does....

She is really good at what she does. Maker sure you allow her to make all your sheaths - beautiful work.
I really don't have much of an interest in leatherworking, but it's always just awesome watching someone who knows their craft work! Awesome vid!
Will I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Francesca, you do AWESOME work, you should be very proud. I hope we see more knife/sheath colab videos in the future, thanks for sharing. Also another commenter mentioned an under arm 44 cowboy rig, that would be cool.
Will brings out the best of everyone around him. He showcases so many extremely skilled craftsmen, and somehow makes them shine and comfortable in front of the camera. That’s such an underrated skill. Thanks Will and of course Cameraman for always showcasing all your friends’ incredible artistry and skills!!! Francesca here is AMAZING skilled artists goddamn what a beautiful sheath!
Arg what’s the cameraman’s name?! Micah? Jeremiah? I forgot arg! He’s such an integral part of the team! I believe he’s the same videographer that Alec uses when he’s in Montana right?
izaya.
She is a badass. I love it when people take passion in there craft. And know all the Ins and outs of the perfect way to make something most functional.
I love leather work, the craftsmanship is stunning. The ease at which she works, and problem solves it, shows just how passionate she is. Stunning work!
That 'Chopper' looks like a big beautiful brute; and that 'beaver tail' on the sheath is pure elegance!!!, a match made in heaven....
I love how easy she makes it look. You can tell she has a plan in her head and has enough experience to just free-hand everything.
Now we need Will to find a way to make a production run of head knives.
For those that are interested the main tanning styles are vegetable, chrome, and oil tanned. Typically you want veg tanned for stuff like holsters where the leather is touching metal because the other styles are more prone to rusting the metal.
Awesome build on the sheath.
As a blacksmith I always wanted to do more leather work. Very nice.
Thanks from Chile. Jim
Holy cow this is a beautiful piece of form and function! Both very skilled craftsman
The sheath isn't bad either!
Can’t wait to see this in the flesh. Beautiful craftsmanship. ❤👌🏼
If she doesn't have a CZcams channel she should. She's a lovely woman who is not only an artisan in her chosen field but she has an excellent delivery. That includes not just the information but also pacing and the ability to explain what she's doing as she works, at least in part.
It's hard to find true craftsmanship, finding someone who can explain the what, why and how in an easy to follow manner isn't any easier.
I was only 2/3 through the video when I commented, I'll be looking at their channel next.
Awesome. I hope to see more collaborations with Teton Leather Company. Be sure to check out their video about the sheath design process for Will's knife!
Would love to see a complimentary gun holster for a classic blue 4 or 5 inch SW .44 mag, as a chest rig.
Looks beautiful, thanks for recording the construction Will.
Man that's wicked.
In a world of industrial manufacturing, hand crafted items are a thing of beauty. I hope more people put in the time and effort to continue to learn these skills.
I love watching a craftsman/craftswoman at work. People who are really good at their craft are fascinating
Firstly Will, thanks for hosting another master craftsperson. Francesca is awesome! It was interesting to see that the two of you seem to share only one common tool... the belt sander. BTW, I think I heard the words "beaver tail" more in the video than ever before in my life combined. :)
I make leather wallets, I hadn't ever thought about working leather like this! Can't wait to try! Beautiful work!
Great change of pace and a beautiful video. Will, this could have been a two part series. I am impressed with her hand punching through 36 Oz of leather and then hand stitching it. That's beast mode!
That sheath is bad ass. I carry fixed blade everyday, a well made sheath is every bit as important as the blade you carry 100%
Wil, this is GREAT! I appreciate learning things and this I have learned from! Thanks!
Leather work? Another thing that's up my alley.
Fantastic leather craft work and she has a great eye for design. Thanks for the video!
She sure made a beautiful sheath.
Thanks Francesca!
Oh my goodness! Franceska has such grand...skills! Fantastic video Will thumbs up.
Absolutely gorgeous leather work!
nice one, good link up!
Amazing. I’m working on building out my very first sheath this weekend. I’ve never worked with leather before.
Thanks, Will and the lady who made the sheath ( I couldn't make out your name). Very nice work and a great video! 👍👍👍
Leatherworking looks so satisfying!
Lining the sheath was very nice. Stellar work! ^^
Edit: Will, you should add making some historical belt connectors on the "To do" list for these type of knives!
Great video, Will!! I don’t know what’s prettier: your knife, or her wild hair and rough hands. 😍
All I can say is, Francesca does awesome work. As much as Will knows how to make knives, I'd suggest she's that much ahead working leather :o) Well done! @Tetonleathercompany
Ya know, that rig might be strung up Dundee style (think "Notta knife"). Good one Hoss.
People that are knowledgeable about there craft are so badass. I am very tempted by some of their wallets despite them being quite pricey, It is obvious the craftsmanship is worth it
More Francesca. I've spoke with dozens of leather workers and although very talented few are personable and even fewer are good teachers.
This woman was made for CZcams. Excellent presentation.
Wow! Such beautiful leather work. She's a great explainer/teacher. I inherited some leather working tools from my father outlaw. I'll never be that good though,
Sweetest sheath I've ever seen. No exaggeration.
Amazing work 🥳😎👍 crocodile Dundee would love it 😍😎 and whoever is going to be using it 😊
excelent work for both of you. i lover her presentation and how hands off will portrayed the video it really showcased her work
Holy. Shit. I do leatherwork as a hobby/small business, and her craftmanship is incredible. The French skiver is gorgeous, that full strap edge bevel... Chills. This probably is going to sound strange, but the full strap perfect bevel is such a satisfying feeling 😂. The heirloom fit? Amazing. And beaver tail and Kangaroo? So cool.
Cracking job thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍 👏
Knife purse yeah I want one
Reminds me of saddle building school in montana. Man I love the areas we live will
I've never seen beaver tail used in leather working- pretty cool. Very nice sheath- makes me wonder how many people are carrying around concealed knives under their jackets.
She is a pro, I hope she charges high prices, she should!!
Great video.
Amazing video. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you.
Looks fantastic and functional
Great content thanks for sharing
Awesome Will, she seems like a cool chick to have around the shop too
Stoked to see this one!
That was some beautiful work I need her to teach me
Definitely a great indepth video on leather work and making a sheath
Incredible work!
Thanks for this awesome video Will. 👍😁
Loved it hun, u were always inspired to do big things with ur talents! Go big or go home, that's my girl!
Beautiful project.
Beautiful work!
that is a cool sheath! great workwomanship!
She is talented and seems like a cool person to hang out with, and if you're going to watch a person's video you are hanging out with them.
Exactly
Very Impressive leather work 😲💯… Thst sheath is way beyond jus a functional piece, it’s showcase 🙌🏽
Awesome knife and sheath and I will say it she is beautiful and talented what a great person.
Beautiful job!
Great video Will, nice guest.
I love their work
Never really thought about the process for making sheathes ( custom or otherwise ). That thing came out amazing looking though! Do they make sheathes for all the blades you make?
Bad ass knife set, super smart chic knows her stuff.
Stellar build!
Masterpiece!!
This was an awesome walkthrough!! Thanks franny Lol 👍
The perfect finishing touch :)
She is a natural youtuber.
Que pauta de trabajos mas esxelente,gran trabajo!!!
Great job❤
I Hope we get to see a video on the customer's reaction. This thing is a beauty!
Uhm, the customer is Will?
@@Seelenschmiede he mentions the blade is for a client a few times
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very nice!
0:50 to 0:58 Will looks like hes listening to a banger of a song
I like it, has my sir name already!
Applause. A joy to see.
Man will you are really such a nice friendly dude, I bet it was a real fun time for her. And also you letting this. Young guy make that San mai dagger in your place. You are truly a good man. May Jesus be with you at all times and one day buy you a Lamborghini made out of genuine japanese katanas!
Great video!
Very nice. Ha Will when u doing that dagger looking blade on your blackboard in the back? That looks sweet.
I would have loved to see the Damascus French skiver actually get used. Maker of that tool is Justin at JW Bladeworks. He has made a number of tools and custom knives for me.
you should forge a leg/post vise
I've made a lot of knife sheaths, I even have tutorials here on youtube, and I've never seen anything like this! Note that I made BEGINNER knife sheath videos. This is way out of My league but it kind of makes Me want to buy some kangaroo an' beaver tail and have at it! Sorry Will, but this your best video in My opinion.
Looking good, with one exception and those are unbeveled edges. Use skiving knife to thin the sheet near stitch line. It will look much better (not so boxy) also it alows to insert extra layer to protect the thread.
Actually, the edges are lightly skived but it’s not a preference on such a large blade. 🤙🏼 just not something that’s included in the video.
I thought to myself : Will may have a chance until I heard the words "and her husband" lol. Cant win em all brother.
Much love. God bless 🙏
I liked the crocodile dundee reference you had in the title earlier. But this is fine too, I guess.
If you get a chance, try making something out of hippo leather. Really course surface texture, incredibly abrasion resistant. It makes a very interesting knife sheath.
Vxshe and her hubby look like the do awesome work,
you should try to make armor.
will will you be going into jewllery further, or was that bench more for when you do detailed work on your knifes.
