In this video, Chuck will be adding stitch holes and hand sewing the sheath. We will also be burnishing the edges with gum tragacanth, setting the rivets on our belt loop and setting a snap on to our strap.

This is what an instructor/teacher should be like. They are so enthusiastic and you're so busy listening and learning, that you have no idea how much time has past. And when he's done, you're ready to jump up and start your own! Thank you Chuck!
When I first saw the length of this series of videos, I was like “nah,man, I got no time to sit through all that;” but the presenter was so enthusiastic and engaging, here I am. Really well done videos! I am totally convinced that a beautiful sheath like this is completely within my power now 😁.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I sat down and watched this 5part series and I felt like I was a kid again watching this old house with my grandfather. Great vid.
Laughed and laughed when Chuck flipped it over and said "that little range mark is going to make me crazy -- absolutely!" Boy, can I relate!!! Nonetheless, that is an absolutely great sheath!
Hah! That will bug me forever! Thank you, Phillip!
That's just a bit of character that makes it one of a kind
Chuck, love these project series. I am taking a blacksmith class next week on making a knife so this is going to come in handy.
That's awesome, thank you so much for watching!
How is the knife making coming along
Chuck is the guy! What a GREAT person! Thank you for another wonderful lesson learned MANY things from you as usual. :)
Thank you for watching our videos.
New comer to the hobby UK based enjoying all your great videos. Thank you
Never heard of hammering the stitch line before. You're making me rethink my use of a whole punch for stitches.
What a fantastic series. I recently started making knives and sheathes. This is great information and the presentation is wonderful. Thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
I've watched several other instructions videos on u tube, and in my opinion this is by far the best I've seen. Clean and professional and the voice clear and easy to follow. I wish I had all of the tools. Thank you but I need to watch a few more times so I don't mess up. Definitely 10 out of 10
Wonderful videos, all the way from one to six...thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge
Damn, you’re good 👀, thank you sir 🫡
I really enjoyed that.
You ser are a great teacher.
I can't wait to start my Leather business
Chuck, you are so helpful in all of your videos. You outline all steps clearly making them easy to understand and follow while making the whole process interesting. Thank you for being so inspirational!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos and thank you for watching!
Chuck is the man
Chuck, beautiful job! Way to go.
Thanks Chuck. All makes sense when shown once. I'm going to enjoy making mine. Have a good day.
Thank you, Adrian! So glad the video was helpful!
@@WeaverLeatherSupply ye cheers Chuck. Insperation . I found a big busted ole French knife at the junk yard. The owner give it to me as a gift. I cut it into a nice shape Bowie knife and got it balanced on the bolster guard. I'd like to be able to throw it. I could throw a Bowie as a kid and never miss. So I custom balanced this one to my hand. I'll etch the blade with a design. BUT I wanted a different looking sheath. I was thinking of a leather front sheath and a aliminium backing but not sure how to fix it together. Maybe I'll rivet it all around. But like the idea of leather lace in a cross design all around. Maybe with the sheath 5/8 bigger than the blade. But the aliminium flat sheet backing will be cut into the the belt loop with two slots. Do you think it will work. And do you think I can pull leather lace around it and make it strong. I'd probably have to glue it and add a spacer. Then I can tap out a design into aliminium before I put it together. Are there any disadvantages with a metal backing. I wanted something solid because it's not blade heavey didn't want it rolling on me. . A long message but. Thanks for your reply. I lived in America for eleven years. In the South. Great customer service and follow up. England got zero customer service. Thanks again. Maybe you got a suggestion. It would help me on my first knife and sheath build. Have a good day. Adrian
This has been such a helpful video series thank you for making them! Those flat tine stitching chisels have made a big difference in my hand stitching.
So glad to hear that, Adam! Thank you!
These are amazing instructional videos. Very straight to the point and descriptive. Great job
Thank you, Evan!
Thank you so much for these videos! I’ve just finished watching the series and will probably watch it 10 more times while I attempt to make my own. Your step by step instructions make it look a lot less intimidating so I’m excited to give it a go.
I made one. Not as easy as it looks, but I love it. That fellow sure has skills.
Great series, really breaks it down and makes it look doable. I'm working on my 1st sheath now. Waiting for dye to dry then i''m stitching
You’re very well spoken and articulate. Thanks for the video
Thank you, Daniel!
Awesome job. Thank you
Beautiful work as always!
This makes my knife sheaths look so bad. Nice work!
Thank You for such an AWESOME instruction video. Love it !!!!!!!
You are so welcome!
Love this guy. ❤ Such great vids. Thank you !
Thanks again.
I'm making a stacked left handed sheath for my 9.5" bladed Bowie knife. This series of videos is going to be my Go To tutorial for how to make it.
Thanks Chuck! Subscribed!
Thank you, Donald!
Watching your simple, easy to understand videos will enable me to take my holster making to a very professional level. I’m excited to go remake nine of my revolver holsters and apply your dye information to each one with one gun belt to match my great girth. I’ll be styling. Thanks
Thank you, Edwin! Hope the dye information helps you out!
That looks very nice! I’ve only made 3 knives and just bought a leather kit. I’m glad I watched your video. I think it’s something I can do. Thanks! Great video!
Great series!
You are the Bob Ross of Leather
Very nice and easy to follow chapters this will improve my projects seeing as I new to leather craft keep the great videos coming!
Thank you, Scott!
Great series from go to wo. The presenter explained the process very well in easy to follow steps. The result being a well crafted and fantastic looking knife sheath.
Awesome series of videos
You sir are an awesome well knowledged individual with great energy, communication, and teaching skills. Thank you for sharing all that with us.
I tried to put a stitching groove on the back side. Oh boy . Now I gotta make it work. All most craft fail . Ya maybe next time. I got it right before. I should have glued it first. Well great video. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.
Hi Chuck. Thank you very much for the demonstartion. I just finished the stitching on a leather sheath for my son's toy wooden dirk last night using your techniques. All went well and he's really pleased with it this morning! Went off to school very happy! I shall start something else soon a bit more complicated, this was very enjoyable abd satisfying. I especially found the angling of the needles as you pull them through a real finger saver! All the best!
Thank you so much, Steve! So glad the video was helpful and that your son loved his sheath - that's the best part of leathercraft!
best step by step ever, thank you =)
You're welcome! Glad to hear :)
I've always wanted to try and make a knife sheath but was waiting for chuck to show me how, the wait is over! Thanks you're the best!
Thank you! You'll have to let us know how it turns out!
Pretty cool...thanks for posting this.
Thanks for your break down. I’m looking forward to making my own.
I should have seen this video before stitching. Good thing with leather is that you can always re workit.
Very helpful thank you
I punch my hole in the pieces separately Chuck. The beauty of the chisels is that they are precise and if I'm careful the holes all line up. I cut my welt to the exact same size as my sheath and I put a lite stitch groove in it as well and after I punch the holes with the chisel I go back over them with a drill and make the holes extra large. When I glue it up for sewing I line my starter hole using thick needles top and bottom in three holes, lines up perfectly every time and I never have any problem stitching. Obviously it took a couple of trials before I perfected my system, but it looks very professional. I sell my sheaths to other knife makers who don't do leather very well. I have one friend who uses Kydex, but gets requests for leather often.
Oh oh Chuck, your sheath has the rivets and the back of the snaps exposed where they can scratch the knife's handle. I sew the strap and line the snap so it doesn't scratch the handle. I learned this lesson the hard way. I also sometimes place the snap where it doesn't come in contact with the handle too.
Thanks making one this week... peace
Chuck great video and i appreciate the time and attention to detail you exhibit while explaining the steps. If it is possible could you do a video on a nice leather rifle sling with a padded section that is adjustable across the strap. I don't know if you have ever walked through the woods without a great sling on your rifle but i have and it can be a painful bother and i would love to make a proper one. Once again thanks for the video and keep it up!
Hi Jarred,
Thanks so much for watching, we appreciate the support! That's a great suggestion on the rifle sling and we'll see about adding that video onto our list!
Need a video for a clever sheath thanks , David.
I just came across this 6 video series right after my knife sheath broke and I was looking to make a replacement sheath. Looks like I have found the perfect instructions to use. This will be my first time making a knife sheath as I usually make medieval belts, bracers, and head pieces (Crowns and circlets).
That's awesome, we hope the sheath turns out great!
Very good craftsmanship
Just found this video, and that rig is beautiful.
Sir, you truly are an artist.
I just love to watch all the works you do with leather.
I'm just starting my path on leathercraft.
Big fan!...
Thank you! I hope you enjoy leathercrafting!
What a great guy! I have just made my own knive in a blacksmithing course, and now want to make my own sheath. Your video not only explains how to make the sheath, but lets me understand why you do certain things the way you do. Thank you very much for this tutorial!
That's awesome that you made your own knife! We hope you have fun with making the sheath!
Another great project series Chuck, keep 'em coming
Excellent tutorial. Now I can finish my project. Thank you.
Excellent series Chuck! I always run the tines of my chisels over beeswax before every hit. That way it makes it easy to pull it back out. I've always cut my pieces to exact size but I think I will start cutting them bigger and trimming to size after glueing like you. It really seems to cut down on the sanding of the edges..
Ps - it's nice to see some leather craft videos hosted by someone with personality and enthusiasm. Well done!
Thanks so much, Bill! Yes, the beeswax is definitely a big help, thanks for pointing that out!
That was a treat to watch, I hardly noticed the time go by! Now all I have to do is order some snaps and make a sheath, thanks Chuck!
Thanks for the video series, I asked about repairing/making a knife sheath some time ago, you told me to keep watching & you had plans for doing a video coming up in the future. Well, this is a lot more than I was expecting & I was pleasantly surprised to see a complete series of videos on the whole process. Thank you very much! Now I can build a new sheath for the hunting knife my dad handmade for me before he passed away! By the way, I enjoy all your videos! Keep up the good work!
Wow, thank you so much, Ron. Making your own sheath for a knife handmade by your dad is really special! Thanks for your patience in waiting on the video!
Great Videos !
Great! Thank you.
You are welcome!
This was so helpful!
Great video very instructive thanks
Great videos.
Another awesome project, Chuck! Thanks!
Loving these videos! Thanks Chuck!
Thank you very much for showing us all the way through the process
Loved the series... I had developed a particular workflow that worked for me, but after watching this series I picked up some great pointers that I will incorporate into my workflow - Thanks!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you..loved watching..🙂🙂
Excellent series of videos. Thank you
Thank you, Dean!
Great video series. I watched every one first to last. I have been making knives for years and have gotten pretty good. I have always hired out the sheath work but have never been satisfied with the outcomes. Time to start doing them myself. Am about to go to your site and heat up my credit card. New subscriber for sure.
I missed the thread size or gauge. I watched this video several times and l get something new from it everytime
Wow. Just wow 😀
What size drill would I use if i were to transfer the stitch holes with a drill press? Love the series! These videos and the links to the tools and leather are incredibly helpful for beginner leather workers! Makes this craft look much less intimidating. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Hi Russell,
Thank you so much for your comment, we're so glad the videos have been helpful! We would recommend a 1/16" drill bit for stitching holes.
Terrific Video Series!!
You did great Chuck! Easy to understand and follow.... Thank you mate!
You are so good at explaining things. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Amazing work. I love your energy it kept me completely engaged with the project. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you sir for taking the time to show that. I gotta make a sheath for my dad for Christmas, We’ll see how it turns out. Happy holidays to you
Great series of videos, Thanks!
Thank you!
Awesome video
Thank you, Luke!
Well done. I definitely learned alot from this series!
Thank you!
Love it, I appreciate these videos, Great job Chuck !
Thank you!
Great series! Chuck is the man! :)
Thank you! 🙌
AWESOME TUTORIAL
I enjoyed this series, thanks Chuck
Make this knife sheath, came out great. Appreciate the quality video, bought some of your products for it. Will be using weaver leather craft for all future endeavors
Thank you so much, Seth! So glad the knife sheath came out great!
Thank you for sharing! ... As always the best and excellent leathercraft content.
Thank you, I'm so appreciative of your comments!
Nice videos! Just what I´m looking for! :-)
Awesome man awesome
Very Informative and articulated. Well done!
Cool stuff, Chuck! Thanks!
Thank you, Artem!
Nice video and instructions, could have used this 7 months ago
Learning to do leather is something I should have done 40 years ago. Now I need several hundred dollars worth of custom sheaths for knives I've aquired over the decades. Guess the old dog is gonna have to take the plunge and learn a new trick.
Thank you Chuck much appreciated, you imparting of knowledge is excellent.
Thks for the tutorials
You're welcome! Thank you for watching :)
Excellent video. I am curious, though; at 15:30, I was expecting the strap to be sandwiched between the belt loop. Is that a matter of personal preference?
Have a newbie question...I am curious why some people when saddle stitching put the thread on the non face side over the needle coming from the front side. From watching here and sewing the one i learned to do from this video this dont seem to be the case and was just curious? Do I need to or just do it like its shown here. BTW i followed your scabbard build and made one and it came out AWESOME! Love your videos.
Well done, great instructions.
