Whacha Been Up To......

Thanks, it worked out well, but then the Buck 110 or the 112 have a great shape for top retention in sheaths like that, snaps in securely.
And thanks to my friend @Matthew Gregory who made this thin edged magnacut trim knife to my spec's for me as a favour and it slices so very cleanly, makes me smile every time I use it, but, it's scary sharp and I know that one slip and I'll be heading to the ER as it is such a thin bladed knife! Here's a shot of the sheath during the build where I trimmed off the excess after I hand sewn the sheath up, after this it will be put on a drum sander to even the edges, but this removes the bulk of the leather.

First sheath, and first attempt at leatherwork. I’m happy with it, even though it’s not pretty. The wet mold went well though, and it holds the multi-tool securely.

How does one attach a chape to a wooden sheath , glue , screws , friction , or what ?.
This has always puzzled me.
Thanks.

Last month arts & crafts was puukko handles but this month to start the New Year my play time has been dedicated to some leather work - AFTER - I cleaned off the handle making bench. Haven't posted any leather in a while.

HERE ARE MY 3 left to right ~

1) A DEK1 sheath that I made a while back but FINALY got around (got my courage up) to make a belt loop for it.

2) A Chaga and birch bark handled puukko with a funky, positive/negative leather cord wrap detail. No wood liner in this one.

3) A Green heart handled puukko with a cross stitched Front welt. This one has the unique feature (due to the symmetry of the handle) that it can be left or right hand carry. The bass wood lesta was built to allow the blade either or orientation but the leather above keeps it very secure.

This one was a labor of love, I hadn't made a belt before. My Mom just gifted me Dad's old Concho buckle, likely from the eighties, and my brother had some belts and stuff in a bag I inherited. That's probably Tandy leather, it was difficult to carve and didn't edge burnish very well. For a guy used to burnishing 12" around a sheath that's a lot of work. I used neats foot oil and it's still a little blotchy here and there.


It didn't take long after I started wearing it to see that the buckle digs into your stomach while sitting down. I actually had to tuck in my shirt!?!

I really like your sheaths - especially No 2. The patina, the aged look and knots in the cord. Everything. Matches the knife extremely well. What do you mean by positive/ negative cord wrap? And how did you get your cord to look so well aged?
