Did ya make your stitching grooves first before stamping? We all make mistakes, just learn from em. Takes courage to share those mistakes.
 
Well I am here to learn and dont have problem to admit my mistakes and get the best advice from the best in buisiness. It is really honour to have a chance to get criticism from you guys.
I first stamped, glued, grooved did stitcjing holes and then saw mistake because i turned sheat after I did stitching holes. When I saw that my fish sign out of center i was furius.On couple of sheats on different-stiffer leather I forgt to dod stamp and couldnt do that properly so I tried not to forget this time but...
 
Aww man, you mean you wanted it centered? Looks great as it is, who would know that isn't where you wanted it? Kinda unique off to the side.
 
I have a spyderco vallaton also and your customer was extremely happy not to have to carry that thing in his pocket any more!
 
Thanks guys for kind words . This time I made one with advice from last customer who said that sheat could be shorter and holes for belt narower. I tried t5o do this fast, for practise and for one my knife. The belt holes are from outer side so-so stright but inside not so nevt time I wil cut inside little narower.Any advice?( Until I buy oblong punch )
