Whacha Been Up To......

A lot (but not all) of my recent work has been non-knife related.

H/T to @JonMcD for this photo

Very nice indeed!

I’m trying out some rivets this go-around it felt like it would have taken me forever to hand stitch. Any recommendations for not getting the imprint from the block or base while hammering the rivets?

I use a smooth piece of granite, a tooling stone. I also dress the hammer occasionally.

Finished up this “industrial” belt sheath that was a long time coming. Holds a Swiss champ and a Victorinox sharpening steel.
I forgot to take “glamor shots,” but ya’ll get the gist.

I just finished this sheath with frog skin inlay. I've done skin overlays but this is my first inlay. it was kind of tricky for me being my first but it seemed to come out OK.
here's the knife and the sheath...

I have a question. I'm tired of dyeing my own leather. So I bought some Wickett and Craig Traditional Harness Leather, dyed at the tannery. I'm practicing for sheath making by making a few field notes memo book holders.

I'm not sure if I should put neatsfoot oil on this type of dyed leather. But I put a thin coat of neatsfoot oil on a scrap piece of leather and it looks great, and appears to have absorbed the oil.

Does anyone have experience with using neatsfoot oil on this type of leather.

Thanks!

I don't believe that leather is "stuffed" so I would definitely be hitting it with neatsfoot oil too if I were you.
