Making a Leather Sheath for a Custom Hunting Knife (Full Build)
Follow along as I craft a leather sheath for the custom hunting knife I made in a previous video! Throughout this tutorial, you'll see my full step by step process in the craft of leather working and the implementation of the many DIY skills I use on a daily basis. Watch to the end to see how these pocket style sheaths have an advantage over the traditional belt loop style!

Making a Massive Axe for Firefighting! (Full Build)
Переглядів 5 тис.6 місяців тому
Witness the intricate process of forging a 6-pound fireman's axe from raw materials. I take you through the entire DIY process of this custom axe's construction, and share the techniques and struggles with making this industry specific tool! Filming this video was definitely great practice for making this type of ax, as well as getting used to the proper camera angles and editing techniques. De...
Hey Matt, do you have a source for your handle hardware? I’ve been trying to find something similar as I have an upcoming build that requires removable handle scales. Thank you. Great work and beautiful result!
Sorry for the delay! I get the hardware from McMaster Carr. I can’t remember what size they are, but you gotta get the torx screws and the standoffs to go with them. I would advise getting a smaller diameter screw than you think you need. Those are probably around 1/8” if I had to guess
Very interesting 😊. I c from watching these that every one has a SLIGHT diff way yet achieved the same goal
nice work buddy
That sheath is as good looking as the most expensive ones. You are a master leather craftsman. Great job. I wish l had one like that for my knife. Quality. You should start selling them. You would make some good money, even if it were a side project. I would certainly buy about 3. God has blessed you. Greetings from West Texas. Out here a man needs constant companions like a rifle and a good knife.
A master leather craftsman? That's a joke right?
thats beautiful brother
This looks like the first sheath I ever attempted making. I can't believe you sell these! Sorry just being honest, but it dosent look like you have attention to detail and looks like you cut small corners. Just some constructive criticism
Yea I agree. Doesn't look finished. Although I'm picky. I rejected my first 2 sheaths I made. Still have them as a reminder.
@@RandyCooper85 I've done hundreds now and while I keep getting better, the gains are smaller than they were when I started. This too looks a lot like my first 2 or 3 pieces. My last piece looked like it was machine cut and I still do everything by hand. I'd use that sheath but only for myself, not as a product I would sell. What's sad is he did a lot of things right but cut corners all over that edge work.
Looks great! I’m glad I found your channel 🔪❤️
You’re an expert at your craft and its amazing to watch such a tedious craft being performed. Also my favorite thing about your sheaths are the way you texture them on the pavement, such a small detail but adds a ton of character. Love it.
I appreciate it! Thanks for watching
Good looking sheath
Thank you!
Hey we should make a video as a knife maker challenge for us lesser known knifemakers ...what do u think.?
Sheath looks hella dope, @behnkeforge!
Thank you!
@@behnkeforge Don't mention it. You're too kind already!
Good job, buddy...
Great work. Keep going bro 😄😄

Wow, nice work!
Thank you!
Excellent job with the blade, I was very impressed with the color in the wood. Great contrast with the steels as well.
Thank you! Yeah ironwood is the best!
Great job sir
Thank you!
It's a bewdy 👍
Thank you, definitely one of the favorites I’ve made!
good job my friend, I thought a hug from your friend from Brazil was incredible
I appreciate it!
I need one of these to go with my integral when it’s time 🙏
Sounds like a plan!
Well done Matt 👍.
Thanks Ron!
Another solid video, love getting to see the Damascus era happen in real time! Also what disk grinder is that?
Thanks Nick! I made the disc myself. All it is is a 1 HP motor (overkill) with a vfd. The actual disc you can get from Tru Grit for $90 I believe, and that slides onto the motor spindle. I can shoot you the exact specs of what I got if you want too
Yes please I need to make myself one asap!@@behnkeforge
@@nickhauser7542 ok you got it! I’ll shoot some pictures and info over tomorrow
Thanks for watching! Let me know what you think and if you have any questions below!
thats a beautifull axe brother! Very well forged and well filmed as well. Greetings from Brazil!!
I appreciate it! Definitely stay tuned for some more to come!
