Completed Sheath for Doghouse Forge Kitchen Knife

[lowes48]

Made this one for a fancy Doghouse Forge kitchen knife yesterday. I used input received from Dave (Horsewrite); I broke the edges to round the corners, which should result in a long-term, user-friendly sheath. And I hand-punched the stitching holes for this one vs. using a drill bit, per Paul (sheathmaker), Jason (Diomedes Industries) and Dwayne’s (leatherman) input on my last post. I usually hand-punch my stitch holes but I used a drill bit for thicker welts. This welt was only 1 layer so it was easily done…

Thanks again to all of you very talented gents for the feedback!

Beautiful work! How do you get the stitches so even? Mine usually waver all along the line.
