Learning Leather, Photos of my Latest Sheath

[Ed Meinel]

I was going to decide, (based on whether or not I'm happy with my quality) to see if anyone would be interested in having a sheath made for their knife.

Well, so far you have:

71cuda
me
WA Martin

3 people in less than a day seems to be a good start...

But how do you decide which one to have him make. I checked the link and he has several nice pieces. :thumbup: I see at least two if not three I could use at least one of.

Thanks WA Martin!!

Your leather work is right up there with the quality of your knives, and I mean that as a great compliment to your sheaths.

 

[SpearZ]

Wowser......I don't even have furniture that looks that nice.

Nice job.

I buy some nice knives in my price range IMO, those are something else "unreal" really

Golly Miss Molly! You do beautiful leather. If I was wearing a hat, it'd be off to you sir. :thumbup: :thumbup:

 

[Dave Kelly]

As you can see, I got a little hung up on basketweave and drop loops!

OK, now you're just being cruel

based on whether or not I'm happy with my quality

I don't know if you are happy with the quality, but we certainly are. Those are gorgeous!

I especialy like your folder sheats.

 

[Dave Kelly]

I especialy like your folder sheats.

Well....looks like I lied about no more photos!!

This is a cell phone pouch, actually his and hers cell phone pouches. The brown one I made as a prototype for him to abuse at work and the other for his wife.

This is what a back of one of the drop loops look like

and a side view

Thanks,
Dave

Sounds like there's some interest in my sheaths, Thank you! Next I should figure out pricing and which market will have me, knife maker, consumer, or ? then find out how to make the contacts.

Thanks again,
Dave
