Making 19 sheaths in this batch. Here they are wet prior to being wet molded and are being edged. Rounding of the edges on a finisher is the next step and then wet molding.

The knives:

The bottom three 16-18 are just in for a new sheath and are not part of the 15 knives I made in this batch. 16 and 17 are not knives by me.

All done:

When I move the knives and the sheaths from the shop to the house I let the temp equalize first before putting them in their sheaths. This prevents condensation on the blade or moisture collecting on the inside of the sheath. Probably over thinking it but why not?

Thank you sir! I used two different leathers for this batch of sheaths. Well that isn't quite right, its the same leather just a different color. My standard leather and the one used on the majority of the sheaths in that pic is Wicket and Craig russet skirting (saddle) leather. The darker ones are the same leather but in chestnut instead of russet. The knife and its sheath:

Ah yes sir, The Cowboy Toothpick! Here it is up close:

And its Slotted Sheath. This is a very versatile sheath. The body of the sheath goes under the belt so one of the few designs out there that can be worn 360 degrees on the belt.
