I have Chucks video which is very good, you can get it at this site

The 10 oz leather can be used but may be better on larger sheaths.

I also recomend Chuck Burrows video on sheath making. He goes along very slow and carefully explains the steps with good camera angles. Within the first minute I allready discovered two steps I was doing wrong.

Digger,
Gonna take the plunge into sheathmaking huh?? Hopefully you will like doing it and use it as a componate to your knifemaking...And if ya hate it?? Well there are always guy's like me to take up the slack!
Anywho...I havent watched Chuck's video yet, but several people whose opinion I respect think highly of it, so I would follow the above guy's suggestion on it!
Yuppers 10oz leather for the larger blades and around 6-7oz for the smallish blades
Start out on the simpler designs (pouch) and go from there...
There are a bunch of tutorials around if ya need some help, and if you have questions please PM me and I will do what I can
Here is one by B. Evans...It is more or less how I do that type....http://www.homestead.com/beknivessite2/pouchsheath.html
