Very nice sturdy sheath, here in Finland we have a different wsy to do a shesth, but our puukkos are very different so that might be reason. You got very neat leather tools, I need to check those out. Take care and have a nice rest of week👍🏻😎
Beautiful work Sir. Some Native Americans believe in making sure there is a mistake in what they make because only Gods creations are flawless. You came close with that beauty. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Many blessings.
As a leatherworker this was very interesting to watch. Absolutely nothing you did in the making of this sheath is how a leatherworker would do it. Every technique, product and use of product and tools, from cutting to staining and oiling were all unlike how a leatherworker would. Aside from a couple of tools. Even the rivets werent what wed use. But its turned out very well. Im definitely not criticising the job as it has really has turned out well. And thats all that matters. A wood or metal worker would see how i do those things and say the same im sure 😂 Id only suggest you use gloves if applying a stain or dye. 😂 Oh, and its really worth burnishing all edges. Not just for looks, but to seal them off and help with wear n tear.
Thanks for the burnishing advice, and the well written comment. I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and response. I am self taught, other than a few youtube videos, an I guess I've just found what works for me. But I'd love to hear any recommended resources for doing proper leatherworking. I'm always trying to get better.
@PhilBaumhardt check out victor George. His sheath tutorials on yt are excellent. Don Gonzales (go back a few years to pick up good info) and road agent leather before he started using a laser. Not so much a Tutorial as much as there's a lot to pick up watching him work. In saying all that I want to reiterate that there's no real need to do things different to how you do it. Im self taught aswell as far as classes or apprenticeships go. But I've been doing it full time for a decade now. 50% of what I watch on yt is other leatherworkers and you pick up techniques and ideas in the background. I'd never seen antique applied with oil like you did. I tried it myself and like it. Innovation comes where conventional techniques are absent. 🤣 sounds deep. But I definitely recommend victor George to all new comers. Lots to learn that applies to all leatherwork in his videos. You're most definitely doing great anyway 👌
@@sloth_e many thanks! I'll check out the other guys, actually already subscribed to Road Agent. My techniques are probably unconventional because started out making my own leather dye from birch bark 😅
Really great video. I'm glad you made this video ,I've always liked your sheaths and wanted to know your procedure. I learned a few new things that I'll be able to use!. Appreciate ya bud, keep up the good work.
Been wanting a leather vid. Thanks. Great work like always.

Thanks Asko, I actually got a puukko type knife I'm working on right now. Those sheathes have the stitching down the center back, correct?
@@PhilBaumhardt yeah and tip of the sheath is curved same line as the sharp edge of the blade
@@askoseppanen3779 was there traditionally a wood liner used?
@@PhilBaumhardt yes they have

Use a saddle stitch. Easier and will be tighter than that.
