Thanks for the inspiration. I got a new Japanese-style marking knife for Christmas and was pondering 3d printing a sheath like this, but maybe I'll take the extra effort to make an even nicer one out of wood.
I would love to see how you would go about making a traditional style saya where only the edge, spine, and tip touch on the inside. I have wooden magnetic sheaths for a couple of my nicer knives, but I have a beautiful handmade wa-gyuto that I want to make a custom-fit saya for sometime.
Very Nicely done its funny its now 2020 and its hard to find those old style Metal Squeeze clamps like you used everyone has the same Crappy plastic ones i hate those for the shop And mine usually wind up in the kitchen Junk drawer for odd things there
If you coat it in a UV finish it will keep some but even then it will turn dull in a few years due to oxidation. if you could fully seal it so no oxygen can get to the wood and no UV can get to ti then it will star. but most of the time with in a year or two it turns brownish.
Cool video. I'm not sure the magnet was good idea. When you're sharpening the knife the metal particles always stick to the blade and it drives me nuts.but it is very functional I can't deny.
Ok so I made a wooden legend of Zelda master dagger out of a wood stake and I want to now make a sheath for it what tools do you recommend for me to use
I don't know if I would recommend anything, particularly. It all depends on which you want to look like. I actually just did a live tonight on the other channel talking through how I choose woods for different uses. But for something like that it's mostly just aesthetics.
Nice job, I have a couple of knives I need to make sheaths for, now I have inspiration. And a dad joke for you: Hey man where can you get magnetic walnut from?
That is a depth tester. There's a rod that goes down through the middle and it's set so I can see if anything needs to be removed to bring it all down to the same depth.
had to go though about 20 vids before i found (you) making a wood sheath with hand tools. great job.
thanks. that was a fun project!
Love your videos..i previously wanted to do this for a knife.. but now i really want to do this..thanks
Great video!
I just received a request for two wooden "knife and sheath set" as gifts and this gave me all the directions I need.
Thank you!
A very knife job. Cutting edge work as always. My wife and I always enjoy watching and learning from you. Thanks for your work.
LOL thanks John!

Sounds like a fun project.

that would be fun. I have one that I need to restore. it was damaged in a move and it would be interesting to fix it up.
Cool idea with the magnet, I woulda never thought of that!
I dig it.
no wooden belt loop? Just kidding. great work.
LOL I thought about it!
Very nice work.
Thanks Steph!
Very Nicely done its funny its now 2020 and its hard to find those old style Metal Squeeze clamps like you used everyone has the same Crappy plastic ones i hate those for the shop And mine usually wind up in the kitchen Junk drawer for odd things there
Lol yup. I have 60+ of them on hand.
I like Ur chisel bag 👌🏻👍🏻
I am doing this today!!! Thanks!!
Sweet. Looking forward to seeing it.
Does the purple color last with that finish? I've heard the film finishes help preserve the purple, but haven't worked with the wood myself.
If you coat it in a UV finish it will keep some but even then it will turn dull in a few years due to oxidation. if you could fully seal it so no oxygen can get to the wood and no UV can get to ti then it will star. but most of the time with in a year or two it turns brownish.
Very nice job, AND NO POWER!
Thanks. That is how I roll.

Good point.
Great job man
Thanks. Congrats on first!

Very nice -I've put it on my project list!! btw...would a shooting board have helped you (I'm asking as a novice)☺
looking forward to seeing yours. I am not sure where I would have used a shooting board in this one.
Nice idea! Thanks! But what is the name of the tool you used to make the equal level (or finding standing spots) (sorry for my bad English ))) ??
sorry not sure what tool you are referring to? do you have the time in the video it was used?
@@WoodByWright sure! 2:02 , thanks !
that is a depth Gauge. I actually will have a video coming out this Saturday on it and making a slightly bigger one
Has anyone mentioned your obsession with boiled linseed oil? Might an intervention be possible?
LOL don't tell people! it is a secret.
Nice job, I have a couple of knives I need to make sheaths for, now I have inspiration. And a dad joke for you: Hey man where can you get magnetic walnut from?
Find a walnut tree growing at the North or South Pole.
@@WoodByWright Nice one :-)
what is that thing at 2:03? Thanks!!
That is a depth tester. There's a rod that goes down through the middle and it's set so I can see if anything needs to be removed to bring it all down to the same depth.
Awesome man. Tell me, what is the finish you used for the wood ?
Greetings from France !
For this one it is Home made Boiled Linseed Oil and Paste wax. I have a few videos if you want to see more.
@@WoodByWright I see ! Thanks lot for your answer !
But, your wax is quite fluid. What is the ratio of oil/wax did you use ?
@@pasdepseudo8519 I did not show the wax in this one. My finish wax is 50/50
@@WoodByWright That's perfect man. Thanks a lot !
Nice prison shank
LOL
Pretty sharp project!
That was dull of me to say.
Lol always the best!
😃👍🏻👊🏻
