Picked up a new way to spend some time, leather work. Started with knife sheaths. I've always looked at making some knives, since I've done a lot of finish woodwork, and a little metal work I thought I'd better look into leather.
Purchased a minimal amount of supplies last week and put the below together. The pics probably look better than the actual product, but other than the lite tan Buck 100 case they are all sturdy.
1st pic, my Buck 110 in a high-ride left side sheath. I made the mistake of getting contact cement where I shouldn't- it's on the back. Second is a sheath for a cheap Chinese Buck, I didn't like the canvas case and the knife is actually a decent knife.
2nd pic, same knives as first.
3rd and 4th pic, my second 110 case, couple of mistakes, but I wanted to see a natural color- make sure all the sewing is complete before gluing it up. The other is a used chicken processing knife (Canton trade days) that will be in our travel trailer, the case will keep it from stabbing us when we reach into the drawer.
Some thanks are due to Jermdog01, knifemaker on TBH. I was able to pick his experiance on a few things, see what he does and admire his blades.
