Hi guys !

I made a new sheath today for a Spyderco Tenacious.
3mm wet formed leather with walnut marinate and linseed oil.
I hope you like it !

Criticism or comments are always welcome !

Cheers, Raga

My only complaint is that I don't have a couple of your sheaths for my knives!!!

Great stuff, beautiful execution and materials.
 
Raga, overall nicely done, the molding and stitching are very good.My only complaint is more of a personal pet peeve of mine is your belt loop.While it is a somewhat common technique of just folding over the belt loop, doing it without lining the sheath and having the flesh side out like that doesn't look good to me and seems almost half-done.Just because it is the back of the sheath doesn't mean it shouldn't get the same care as you put in the front.Sorry ,just my opinion.Dave

Raga, and DC, if I may chime in....lining this type of sheath is not a matter of "right" or "wrong", it would be strictly preference and cosmetic....since this appears to be a working/using knife, your method of doing the belt loop is fine, and certainly not a lack of care.
 
Nice sheath there, good compliment to the knife for sure! like the name on the
front, dual colours are not always easy to do.
Keep up the great work,

Thanks all !

I used hot branding iron before, but now my logo is just pressed.
It's better I think.
When I painted the sheath, I let the logo nature, and after dry I waxed.
(As I saw from you in one of your thread :))
Thanks !

Regards, Raga
 
Raga, nice job, and I would say not to use branding iron as that
removes oils from the leather and can make it too brittle, I remember
people using that a lot a long time ago, there may be some places
it's ok, but I've not seen the need for it. So good to hear that you
have a logo to press now! much better for you and your work!
