That looks great Jim! Thanks for sharing! 👌👍

[@JimsonMakes]

Thank you Heath, I really enjoyed this project. Cheers, Jim

[@HeathKnuckles_Tasty_Timber]

Jimson's Stuff Nice snug fit too. Looks very nice!

[@JimsonMakes]

Thanks again Heath, the wet moulding of the leather makes a big difference to the fit. I let the sheath partly dry with the wrapped knife inside and then take the knife out and let it dry completely, it seems to shrink a fraction which really grips the knife well. Cheers, Jim

[@JimG31547]

Hi Jim,
This was not a wood turning video but I really enjoyed it. That is a beautiful knife and sheath. I am sure someone will really enjoy it.
