My first attempt; for my necker

Second attempt is not finish yet, unsewing yet. Should be for my tanto
Third one; made for my best friend, for his JK knife. Pattern on the sheath influence by sheath that made by Rick Marchand.

Fourth; for my mule CPM M4, handle of this knife also by me.

Last one, finished 3 days ago for my kwaiken. The kwaiken itself made by my best friend. Material Tamahagane. Sheath made from stingray skin also kangaroo leather.

I have no idea on the grade and processed taken in all of the leather that i have used. Once i finish, i use sno seal wax and Seiwa conditioning leather. Thread use waxed thread of tandy for the first one (and possibly for the second one). The rest use artificial sinew. Tools, use Tandy and Seiwa

Any comment will really appreciated.

Much respect from Central Borneo

Thank you so much, need more practice and knowledge on materials. Unfortunately, lack of resources here.

It is fun of course, just imagine, using primitive mallet sitting on the wooden floor. OMG, age will not lie, pain in my back.

Nice start! Be careful it can be addicting.

Will try to make wooden sheath soon, once have chisel.
