The whole thing turned out great man!

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thanks man!

[@chriss8206]

I think you did a terrific job. I love how you can see the grain in the leather.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thanks Chris!

[@adelacour]

very impressed once again, you got there in the end with the sheath, which suits the knife perfectly.

[@SawForgeGarage]

The sheath turned out rad and compliments the blade well.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you!

[@Jim-fr3gr]

That’s a good looking sheath.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you Jim!

[@johntellerman]

This is almost exactly how I made my latest Kukri sheath! Good job! Only difference is I used two snaps on the retention strap. Next time I’ll cut the retention strap as part of the back piece instead of sewing a separate piece.

[@adamkozinoga9633]

Regarding not rushing trough things, and rethink it, go trough every step: I would suggest to use something to make grove for your stitching. While you’ll be putting blade in, it might cut your belt and loop.

[@trainwon5699]

Well done 👍

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you 👍

[@idwolverine1867]

Great job and well thought out! Works perfectly with that blade.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you!

[@TooTall553]

Outstanding all around build &video makers will learn from it, that's what it all about 🤘👍👋

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thanks 👍

[@C.A.Newman]

Really nice work, Erick! Suits this awesome knife really well.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you Cory!

Great job on the sheath! I found a new idea from this, of putting the belt loop tail on the inside instead of on the outside, but I usually wet form my sheaths. When roughing the leather for glue I like a small piece of course sandpaper or one of the course sponge blocks, lots of edges at different angles. Watching someone else work leather helps get me out of my comfort zone. It just goes to show that I can learn something new since I have been playing with leather off and on since the late 70's. I notice from other comments there are no end to the good tips and tricks to working leather. Figure out what works best for you and keep an open mind. I am looking forward to the next build.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you! Yeah, I've found so much great info from this comment section.

[@123gonow]

Looks really nice Erick ! Very nice combo !

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you Steven!

[@jmsmorley]

That’s really slick!

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you!

[@mcrich1978]

Well done! 🍻

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thanks Matt!

[@lorneclose7312]

Leatherwork is a whole different beast to making the blade but so worth it much classier than kydex. Oh and the spacer is called the welt lol. Nice work looks great

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you lol. Gotta love learning new things.

[@bluecobra6294]

Superb Job, fascinating to watch, many thanks.

[@HummingbirdKnives]

Awesome! I made a kukri a while back and have been pondering how to make a sheath for it. Thanks for the advice!

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thanks Jeff!

[@DavidMoonForge]

That's a clean looking sheath. Nice work 👍. You should get some pattern stamps and try some tooling. My first was a basket weave and I liked it so much I ordered a handful of other stamps to try out. Tooling leather is a fun process and I bet you would enjoy the creativity in it.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thanks David, the goal is to definitely get into the pattern stamps. I think the next one will have some pattern stuff done to it.

[@MadMan559est69]

🔥 awesome 🔥

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thanks!

[@benterbieten9540]

Thank you!

[@PintoKnifeWorks79]

👏👏👏👏👏very nice.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you Odacir!

[@Sullivansknives]

Get you some “sinew” thread it’s much strong and I think it looks better! It’s great for hand stitching !

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thanks for the advice, I'll try that out!

[@knowledge15king]

very nice

[@pamelalittlefield4608]

Love it, awesome :) :)!!

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you!

[@jwspock1690]

well done

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thank you!

[@bransonsgeneralstore]

Good job on the design. The shape of the sheath compliments the shape of the blade instead of hiding it. A couple things I have learned about how stitching wears out over 30+ years of leatherworking. Knots eventually wear off or come untied even when you melt the threads together. Back stitching through 3 or 4 holes is stronger and does not wear out any faster than the rest of the thread. The whip stitches you wrapped around the edge will also wear out faster than the saddle stitch, but that is more of a two or three years from now problem.

[@theriversexperience9383]

That's some great info! Thanks for that!

[@mcrich1978]

Touched all of that. Lmao!

[@jasonvliet-odonataknifeworks]

Looks fantastic! Great overall package.

[@theriversexperience9383]

Thanks Jason!

[@franotoole2702]

Turned out well Eric. Check out Ian Atkinsons vids in youtube. He will realy help up your sheath making skills.
