Mostly I make leather sheaths just for the knives I make , but from time to time I am willing to do some for others and there are a few makers whom I make sheaths for whenever they need them.

All are 9-10oz , hand stitched ( 2 needle saddle stitch ) using Barbour's 5 strand sinew.
One is dyed a deep burgundy with black on the edges , the other is a med tan with black on the edges.

Finished these two up today for a couple of fixed blades I made:

This was all done for one customer , one folder is a Nihiser , the other a Hossom Ontario folder . ( the mag pouch was for myself for concealed carry ).

Nice to see a thread showing so much of your talent John!
Very well done, as are the knives too, if I can just get you to
stop putting the notch on them you'll do ok ;)

I will stop doing the notch , when you do more fixed blade sheaths ;)

I am working on some without the " G2~Notch " :)

That little notch does making putting the edge on there much easier , I just prefer the notch vs having a dull 1/4" of blade at the plunge cuts.
 
hehe, well, I guess I'll just hafta wait,
but, I'd rather a short section dull than a
short section that catches and holds up the
knife during the cutting, but, that's an old argument
and I'll most likely bring it up again ;) you know me :)

but seriously, nice work, the sheaths look exceptionally
cleanly done! nice stitching and edging too!

there we go john...:thumbup: nice to see some more of your leatherwork man... your sheaths are bomber...:) like your knives...
 
Great looking leather, nice lines and I love the edging. Do they have belt loops or are they pocket sheaths? Your knives look good to me. Please show some more.

Thanks.

Cazio:
All have belt loops. The majority of my pictures are on the PC with the burned motherboard , will post more when I get " ol smokey" back up and running.
 
I really like the clean look of your sheath work. I prefer the plain old sheath for my knives.
 
This is the first time I have seen your work, and I have to say that it is exactly the kind of leather I like to carry my knives in. Great stuff Mr. Wylie.:thumbup:
