I love your videos. I made two kydex and leather hybrid sheaths. I thought you would have glued one side first to make the holes and then glue the other side. Thanks for keeping it real 🔥🔥🔥
Just my 2 cents…I’ve bonded odd shapes like that before by vacuum bagging it after glue up with a food saver type vacuum bagger. Maybe even wet mold the leather and let dry before glue up. Looks great!
@@theriversexperience9383 you should be able to do that with scale to liner glue up also if you use a call plate with it. Perfectly even pressure on the whole surface and the squeeze out stays in the bag!
It's actually one that you would use while vinyl wrapping vehicles. It comes to a very fine point. If you look up "vinyl wrapping knife" on amazon they have many options.
Looks like the better side of a split, how many oz leather is that?
Thanks for sharing I’m interested in making a sheath for fixed blade for own carry and I’d like it to be like this
Nice experiment on this one !

Well, that actually makes more sense. I'll be doing that moving forward.
Can’t wait to see the finish 🔥
So far, so good! Looking great! 👍
I hope these little clamps did`nt leave any marks on leather. Anyway, thanks for shearing , cool project, can`t wait to see the result ! 👍👍👍😊
Luckily they don't. This is the only thing I use them for.

Marks can be rubbed out. There’s a leather tool just for that. Also a great tip,,,,,,never have long fingernails while working with leather.
I use tongue depresses in between the leather and clamp and they work great!
@@Yardstiky this is a great idea.

These are both great ideas that I will be trying out for sure.

I’ve been doing this on kydex holsters for my local Police officers. I use a thinner leather so it forms to the curves better.
👍
Sheath is looking good. I've never seen a utility knife quite like that one you're using, what brand/model is it?

Have you learned anything more about this in the past year? About to do the same thing and want it to last
