Leather The “What’s going on in the S&F shop” thread!

Sharp & Fiery said:
Just finished up this modular sheath. It has a removeable belt loop. It can also be carried IWB or add a DCC/Ulticlip for pocket carry.

I figured I needed to see if I still had what it takes to make a half-decent sheath since I’ve had a ton of time off.

Hope you enjoy!

Wow, great job on that one Coleman 😍. Definitely a beauty. I’ll go ahead and take the combo as well, just send it to me with the rest of the others 😃. Also don’t forget to add some of that Canadian snow ❄️ you keep bragging about 🤣
 
When I start working on a project, I get so immersed in it that I don’t take photos. Hence why I don’t post many WIP threads. I apologize.

I figured that I would post the original sketch of the above sheath and how many templates were involved. :)

Right now I feel like Coleman is just teasing us. Showing us what we can’t have 🤣.

It’s all about supply and demand, and I demand a steady supply of S&F into the US. 😃

Seriously though I didn’t think these shenanigans would last this long or impact us so much. Especially since there’s only 1 Coleman to go around.

Flattery will get you nowhere, my friend. Hahaha!!
But really, thank you for this post and your kind words. There would be no S&F without good friends and customers like yourself, C!!

Also, thank you for making it fun in here. 👊🏼

If you were to guess, how many hours in total do you have invested in that particular sheath? From pattern to polish :)

Genuinely curious.

If I were to take an uneducated guess…100hours! 😂🤣

In actuality, from templating to completely finished. I have between 20-24 hrs into that particular sheath. That being said, it was the first time that I used so many parts and incorporated a bunch of different details into one sheath and I didn’t want to get it wrong.

I am counting time that my brain was just thinking through the steps I would take and how to proceed, as well. (Although a lot of that happens during the build.)

Once I get to a step that has wait time (glue, dye, drying), I will start another project that is on the build list. So I probably spend about 4 hours of that time on other projects (Templating or prepping). And sometimes I just go do laundry. Haha!

I do everything by hand, so it takes longer than if I were to have a stitching machine and other handy machines.

I hope that wasn’t too much information, Josh, but that I answered your question. It was a good one.
