Making a Leather & Kydex Survival Knife Sheath Leather Working ASMR
Vložit

- Let's make a complicated leather knife sheath (with storage for sharpening stones or matches). This time for a Cold Steel Drop Forged Survivalist bowie knife. Watch me play around with tooling, heat-forming Kydex, using a laser engraver/cutter, veg-tan and oil-stoned leather, woodworking (OK, that's a stretch, but still...).
My laser is the excellent xTool P2 55W CO2
Below is a link for saving a few bucks purchasing a P2 direct from xTool. I was given this code to pass on to my viewers when I first received the the laser. Hopefully it still works:

The stamps used on this this sheath:
Zhong Jiang E803
Barry King steep angle beveler
Craftool Z781

That time when the sheath is worth ten times more than the knife.
Right. In all fairness a good leather sheath usually is worth more than the blade
30seconds in and I saw how cheap the knife was and now idk if I want to watch the full video 😒😑😁
i cant believe I'm going to say this but, I really really hope you don't under charge people. this Is amazing work and the editing hides the many hours not shown. this type of work deserves a good payout for each one made.
I'm currently unable to take custom orders anyway. This was a personal project. Thanks for watching!
Чудо-ножны! Просто произведение искусства! Тут случай, когда ножны стоят дороже, чем сам нож! Мастеру ставлю БОЛЬШОЙ КЛАСС!!! 👍👏
Thanks for watching!
I can't tell you what a wonderful, peaceful experience it was just watching that video. It's so seldom to see a true artist at work anymore, let alone one with this kind of skill. The end product was truly a thing of beauty.
It's Bowie big homie 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have built a handful of more complex multi-piece sheaths for my custom knives, but this just unlocked so many things that I never even thought to try! Thank you for putting this out here for us to enjoy and learn from. Wonderful work, and again thank you for putting this out into the world.
Glad I could help!
As a simple man with no skills, I can only dream of one day having such a fine sheath for my knife. Thank you for sharing
Much better than that cheap knife deserves!
Ah. That's harsh! It's a good budget knife
It's a COLD STEEL knife, @thejerryj!
おとな版？出来るかな😊❤？
Сразу видна опытная работа мастера. Богатый инструментарий! С такими инструментами приятно делать красивые вещи.
Very impressive. I have a long way to get you your level of craftsmanship. You do give ideas and desires for one to better themselves with leathercraft.
Thanks of watching! 👍
Gorgeous.
Thanks!
Having declared my dissatisfaction with this sharpener last night czcams.com/users/postUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ I thought about the problem some more. It occurred to me that I might be undoing each attempt at achieving a sharp edge by the repeated attempts. So, I tried to clean up the unsatisfactory result by honing with only positions 3 and 4.Miracle!! A really nicely sharpened chef's knife, more than enough to handle my needs. Admittedly, it did not reach professionally sharpened razor-fineness, but it is now significantly sharper than it was. A bout of breaking down carrots convinced me. So, major apologies to the manufacturer, Amazon, and all happy and potential owners! Follow the directions: don't buy it if you have ceramic blades; and don't overwork your knife blade.
I'm eventually going to make a whole video on sharpening my tools. Make sure to subscribe to get the notifications!
Nerves of sreel and the patience of Job.
That is absolutely incredible
Thanks!
tremendo.travajo.precioso.como.nadie
Easily the most beautiful sheath I've seen in many a year. WOW!!
Thanks for watching!
"Wow!!!" from Oldenburg/Germany!
thanks!
What a beatiful craffmanship.
Amazing craftsmanship!!!
Thanks!
So good to see a craftsman at work
That's not a sheath.... It's a work of art!
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful and amazing work
Thank you so much.
Beautiful sheath
Thanks 👍
Thats was the most satisfying thing I ever seen on CZcams. And one of the most beautiful.
Thank you! And thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.
All artists have the same beautiful fingers!!!
Such clean and precise work. You make it look easy.
Thank you very much!
The truest sign of a master is to make it look easy.
😮worth more than the knife 🎉❤
The thing that struck me about this video, the main reason I watched it, was that I couldn’t imagine why someone would use both leather and kydex to make a knife sheath. I thought perhaps you’d use the kydex as a backing to stiffen the sheath and protect the back from wear.
Using it to make the mouth to protect the leather from the knife is frankly genius. Traditionally in many places bone or horn are used but shaping those materials can be tricky. Thanks for the idea.
that was a work of art. Amazingly shot edited and constructed. Thanks for sharing!
Beautifully photographed, excellent lighting and sound. Masterful process and execution with plenty of hints and tips sprinkled into this excellent video. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Real fine craftsmanship. Beautiful, functional sheath.
Thank you very much!
Nice sheath. Like the other guy said: “the sheath is worth more than the knife.”
You should really only slick the edges after you have assembled the panels and sanded the edges so as not to do it more than once. Saves time and work.
Thanks for watching!
Work of art created by the master of leathercraft.
This is real craftmanship.
thanks!
That's the best work I've ever seen making a knife sheath it's absolutely fantastic work really enjoyed watching every minute of it very we'll done 😊😊
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
I'm looking for something to do for a retirement gig to keep me creative and out of trouble. In my 20's I made a few basic holsters and rifle scan adds in the late 70's but didn't continue when I moved for a job. Your videos have rekindled my interest.
Great job! Bravo master! From Russia with respect!
Thank you very much!
excellent work. from Argentina.
Thank you very much!
Great job best I’ve seen
Thanks! Of course, all I see are the imperfections. But if you don't see them, they didn't happen!
Stunning craftsmanship....WOW!!!
You just keep outdoing yourself. That one fine pig sticker holder. On a side note. I miss your old tunes you used to play a year ago
Thanks! I think I know the tune you're talking about. Maybe I'll bring it back on the next one.
Master Craftsman!
Wow!!!!!!!!! That's amazing. Now I want to go make me one
Hi sir wow wow👍👍out standing first class 👏👏amazing leather work my friend that is somthink to be proud of sir wow god🙏bless dino in uk lvly work😁👍🛸
Thank you kindly
Wow, I hope that knife is worthy of that sheath, I never knew it takes that much craftsmanship to make a good sheath, amazing.
The beauty of creation
You are a great craftsman. I like your attention to detail and artistic touch. I make fairly simple leather sheaths for my knives. I feel encouraged to step up my leather work game! Thank you 🙂
GRACIAS MAESTRO UN EXELENTE TRABAJO COMO TAMBIEN FANTASTICO ARTESANO, SALUDOS DESDE FERNLEY NEVADA.
Dam nice work !
Appreciate it!
Hella dope results @RoadAgentLeather! Disregard the haters!
Thanks for watching!
I have the same knife and I can assure you that it's worthy of that sheath. It's a perfectly balanced fighting knife. I can get mine screaming sharp. I like your attention to detail. No I can't make a sheath as nice as you. But like you I'm proud of my ability. I have put some people in awe of how sharp I can get a knife. 50 years of experience helps. My dad used to say please not so sharp this time. I always got a inside laugh about it. But he was serious.
Thanks for watching! I agree; it's a very nice knife, especially for the price. I've got a whole set of sharpening tools. In my opinion, if it's not sharp it's not really a knife --- just a knife-shaped piece of metal.
I made a sheath for my bowie knife a few weeks ago. I'm a lefty so I have to change everything. Wish I had seen this first. Always amazing.
Волшебник!!!!уважение!!!!
Something with a leather stacked handle would look sweet in that sheath. That sheath is to beautiful to even put on a belt. Such nice work my friend.
What a master piece!
Thanks for watching!
Beautifully done! Awesome to watch. Also, fascinating uses for 123 blocks!
Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for subscribing!
Harika!!! Hunerli eller ve muhtesem videolar. Lutfen uretmeye ve paylasmaya devam et. Her videonun sonunda sabirsizlikla bir sonraki videonu bekliyorum.
Fantastic work! Your channel is a real treat.
Bonita funda amigo,y buenas manos.
Beautiful, very talented
Many many thanks
I had to think for words for a moment! Thanks. Great work, very practical, May be our pollies should look at this. You need a knife and you need a fire starter at any time , any where, despite what they think.. One of the best pieces of leather work on the net. Well done.. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching!
As always, such an outstanding project. I don't know how you sleep at night with all of those creative ideas flying around in your head!!!
Ha. Thanks! Problem is I just don't have enough hours in the day.
Very,very cool. Well done.
Thank you very much!
What an awesome design. This was amazing to watch. 👏👏
Very nice work!
Knife looks like a Buddy K Special. Actually a Cold Steel Survivalist more worthy of Beautiful workmanship!!!👍
Thanks for watching! It's actually a good knife. Cold Steel often gets a bad rap in my opinion. I have several of their knives and they compare to much more expensive ones I've purchased.
Шедевр! Лучшая работа,руки мастера каждое движение как балет,высокое искуство.!!!
Another awesome video! Your craftsmanship is wonderful to watch. I always enjoy watching you make some incredible, yet functional, works of art! Cheers!
Awesome, thank you!
Wow wow wow, that looks like an awesome sheith you have done, I'm new to leather work so know how hard to keep everything looking totally professional. Stay safe & mostly stay strong!! 😁
A $10 knife in a $200 sheath. Beautiful piece of work
they are 90-100 dollar knives (and worth that) but can easily be had for 65-70.
I own one, it's an insane bowie to be honest
Uma verdadeira obra de arte. Parabéns
Wow ! That's a masterpiece !!! 👍👍👍
Thank you very much!
OK don't get me wrong here because in the end it's amazing work. I was confused about a few things in the middle but man that is what it's like for guys like us that do this at home and have to use what we have to get the job done. Not that I'm a leather worker but it still applies to us working men with common sense. Thank you for this video
Thanks! If you have any questions about the construction, just ask them here!
Beautiful piece!!
Thank you very much!
Very nice work. Clean lines and attention to detail. Glade you stated with the basics of leather work. Interesting how you solved the stretching of the leather during the tooling phase. A solution I have not seen before. I’m impressed with your ingenuity. Please keep projects and videos like this one coming. Thank you for getting back to what you do best. Inspiring…..
Thank you very much!
Absolutely beautiful work, true craftsmanship.
Thank you very much!
A very very nice leather sheath 👍 The leather sheath has more value as the knife.
Stuning job young man neat & clean and also very clever attachment of the belt loop. The only thing you need is a peaice of spacer leather between sheath body& belt loop and the knife will seat properly . Happy Trails
Thanks! The Kydex insert forms a slope that the blade rides down on (and keeps the sheath's mouth open). I didn't think about it until it was too late that I could have seated the insert a little deeper to make it sit flush. Will have to remember that for next time.
Congratulations to your new leather sheath👍..and knife..💪.Although it was a hard job to make it..I could recommend to buy an extra Drop forged knife..one never knows,because sometimes it is very easy to loose the knife on the grass and any other knife than this does'nt fit that beautiful sheath.Better have two pieces🙂..maybe it would not be possible to got it in Cold Steel offer after some time although the knife is awesome...sometimes it happened to me,I'm afraid😂😭
Loosing the knife sounds like something that would happen to me.
Absolute pleasure watching you work Sir, thankyou
Thank you kindly
Nice,strong,great work.
Thank you very much!
Gila Bener❤❤❤❤
Sebuah Karya yg spektakuler Luar Biasa...
Hebat Banget
I'll by the knife just to have a sheath like this one! Great work!
Thanks for subscribing!
I am a Bladesmith and make all my own sheaths and have made sheaths for David Boye knives for several years and have learned a lot doing so. I learn more from every sheath video you make, Thank you very much, beautiful work. I cringed when I saw you using your skiving knife to pry the Kydex up over the rivet. A couple of weeks ago I opened up my thumb with my skiving knife, glad you didn't do the same.
Thanks! I needed something thin but strong to slip under the Kydex. I think it looked more dangerous than it was; if I slipped it would have just gone into plastic.
Lee Sass Hi have you a channel ?
@@RoadAgentLeather do you know a place to buy tooling leather for cheap? I’m 13 so I can’t afford much, but I need quality for my sheaths…
@@LittleGreyWolfForge Have you tried Tandy, Springfield, or Weaver? They all have sales and 'economy' leather. May also want to check eBay and Amazon.
@@RoadAgentLeather tried em before, didn’t have great experience with any of them except Tandy… I’ll try it!
What a sweet looking sheath, one of the best I've seen!! Thanx, Sam
Thanks for watching!
Dude, thank you, that was awesome.
Glad you liked it!
And to think I found the oem sheath for my drop forged survival knife to be great. This work of art is absolutely gorgeous and I wish I could buy it. Thank you for some zen time today.
