I have googled my head off trying to find out how folks do that fancy, out of the ordinary stitching on their sheaths. It must be a closely kept secret, as I can't find anything about it....

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanx!

If this is what you're talking a bout, it's fairly easy and I could just tell you how to do it.
 
Just stitch in on one side and out on the other? Someone over the sheath forum had one awhile back but I can't quite remember how he did it. If I remember right I believe it was William Crump that did it...
 
Basically come up through the bottom (and out through the face-side of the sheath), skip a hole and go through to the back. From the back, come up through the skipped hole to the face again, making sure your needle comes up on the desired side of the thread. It doesn't really matter which side it comes up on, as long as you're consistent with it for every stitch. Skip and hole again and repeat. The patterned stitch will only be on one side. The other side will look like a regular saddle stitch.

Here's an older sheath I did this way with a bit tighter of a hole pattern:

A saddle stitch is probably the strongest you can do, but this is a nice decorative touch as well.

Bill Moran shows his stitching well in his sheaths video/DVD. You normally would order it from the ABS, but I think they have suspended sales temporarily. The title is, "Handles ,Guards, and Sheaths", by Bill Moran. Might find one on ebay.

You nailed it there, Mr. Burgess. Easy as that.
