Thanks to Tal, and others, my FIRST sheath is done! Is it perfect? --not even close; there were times when I almost threw it away and started over, but I wanted to finish it as a learning exercise so that the next ones will be better.
I opted for a folded "butterfly" type sheath for this shape of knife, an EDC II, and am glad I did because it looks good with the leaf-shape blade.
I opted to use a so-called "Loveless Cam Lock" to keep the knife in, and wish I had not --it added a layer of complexity that I didn't need. Does it work? -oh Yeah! it works. Would the wet-molding have worked just as good without it? -probably yes. I'm not giving up and will try it again with more experimentation.
I pushed one hole when using the drill press, in the wrong place due to working at night in a poorly lit garage --lesson learned there, work in better light.
The dangler shown will not fit this sheath. It's a 1" dangler and the belt loop on the sheath is 1 1/8" because I cut it oversize and forgot to trim it to 1" at a later stage. I also ran the taper too high, resulting in almost an inch and a quarter where the dangler would go. I just did the dangler for the experience, but still.... another oops.
And... I bought 1/4" Chicago screw posts, way too short, need at least 3/8" screw posts for 3 thicknesses of leather, and this one could have used 1/2 inch screw posts due to thick leather; you can see the mark where I put it in the vise to squeeze it down so I could attach the screw post. I swear I read 1/4" somewhere, but 3/8" is needed, trust me.
My leather is too thick in my opinion at nearly 12/64ths. 8/64ths, or 1/8" would be better. A problem with mail-ordering a shoulder from Tandy. I'll try to get some better leather, but for now will skive the next one down to closer to 1/8" or 8 oz.
You will notice the belt loop stitching is brown thread and the rest is natural thread; just because the evening I was sewing I couldn't find the natural thread that I thought I had purchased, and didn't find until later.
I didn't notice until looking at the pictures that the stitch line is imperfect; but I think I can fix that with the overstitcher.
All in all, a fantastic experience that I would not have tackled without the video guidance of Tal, and others. I already have two more cut out, and I can't wait to get started. The next one will be twice as good. In the meantime, I have a bullet-proof sheath that will last a lifetime (I'm 68, so how long is that?).
Thanks, Tal.
Well, it really is a very well done combo of both styles and I like it!
