Making a Leather Pancake Knife Sheath in 2021

- This is an update to the video we did a few years back on making a leather pancake knife sheath.
I updated the pattern a little and also created a new digital pattern pack for it as well. You can purchase that pattern using this link: dgsaddlery.com/product/pancak...
The old pattern pack and this new one can be used interchangeably as there isn't that much of a difference in overall shape.
We also offer a material pack for this sheath. We offer a 3 pack and 6 pack of both the front and back pieces die cut from Herman Oak Leather. Here is a link if you would like to purchase some of those:

Best teacher outthere! Thank you Mr. Gonzales.
I always enjoy watching your videos Don. I can think back a few years ago and between you and Aaron at Makers you have been a big inspiration to my leatherwork business.
Once I get my workshop going, I will get those patterns from you.😊👍🙋🏻♀️
Don, you might want to think about having your paper pattern and tooling window jig made out of that "plexi-glass" stuff like Aaron at Makers does. Heck I think a lot of us would be more than happy to buy something like that from you too.
Ok, made the purchase for next year projects. Thanks. I wish you and your family a Wonderful Christmas Year!!☃🎉
I laminate my paper templates and have really good luck with the longevity of the template.
For my pancake holsters, I use an antique book press rather than hammer after gluing. Both sides are lined to ensure against wee marks. Works a treat.
Great video excellent craftsmanship🖖🏻🧔🏻♀️🐕🇺🇸
nice and good presentation. thanks buddy u are the man
Excellent tutorial, I've made some of these. I do make them out of the lighter 5-6oz because by the time you put them together they're pretty thick. Wish I had a clicker, but I have cutting them out by hand down to a science.
If you don’t do enough of these to justify the hundred dollar punch for the slots on these sheaths, I’ve been using an old 1 3/4” wood chisel to major two quick parallel cuts with the bevel in then punch of you could even drill out the ends and you can knock them out damn near as quick as with the the custom punch. a day for sure a helluva lot cleaner and quicker than trying to cut them out by hand. That takes forever and I couldn’t help but end up with ragged edges I had to spend forever cleaning up. .
Hadn’t thought about using a chisel for that , definitely be a lot cleaner than fighting to clean up wayward knife cuts and a whole lot faster. Thanks !
Great vid!
What ever happened to that pinkie must have hurt like h...!
Great video as always! My style of leatherwork is not soo far from the American/Western/Horsey style but I'm learning tonnes every time I watch.
Love your videos! I’m just starting to work with leather. I have a Swiss Army knife model equestrian. How do you modify your measurements for a different knife.
Where do u get your Clicker Dyes made from
Good video Don I’m going to have to get this pattern but just went on your site and the Black Friday sale is showing sale price and old price as the same
Hey don does the pattern come with up n down and sideways pancake or just sideways
👋👋👋
Hey Don, do you have something like this for a leatherman multi tool?
What is that giant marker thing you use I know you said dye but what color /make and we’re can I get one ?
Also You are a legend sir !!!
What is the tool at 6:05 or so...does this tool come in different dizes, width ?
Could you explain what tools/ what size the tool was that you used?
They appear to be Barry king tools and I am looking to buy some for Christmas but I am unsure what size I need for projects like these or wallets..
Could this pattern fit a Leatherman Free P2? Or would it have to be modified?
Out of stock on website for the 6 pack.. will you have some clicked out soon?
Where do you get you clicker dies from?
Where do you get your leather dies?
Where can I get edge marker pen?
What does the tan kote do?
Don. Do you have a picture of your saddle somewhere. I want to see what you ride.
Nice tutorial brother!
How do you tell a pancake sheath is right or left handed
Dang says sold out for the 3-6 pack :/
Couldn't’ you just flip the material over and click the backs with the same die? Or is the back panel different?
Nope I see the difference at 8:55
What is the liquid you are putting on the edges when you say getting them slicked?
Water
He has a great video on edge slicking.
Hey man, I don’t see the link for the pattern. Would love to give them a try!
It’s added now. Sorry bout that!
Most of the digital patterns are still showing up with the normal pricing, I keep refreshing the website with no luck.
Yelp I’m having the same problem. Lol guess I’ll have to wait until tomorrow to order my patterns. He will will get it fixed I’m sure. If I’m not mistaken he had some kind of website trouble last year for the sale as well.
Fixing that now. Sorry
is there an email I can ask questions?
His mallet has taken a beating for sure !
The the title should be how to make it using the pattern lol but I already have a pattern
I thought Olive Oil deteriorates leather over time? Or maybe that is the secret market strat to keep customers coming back....
smh....These guys with these elaborate machines. Great video, thank you for sharing. But this isn't a made by hand leather knife sheath.
