This video is just exactly what I needed to figure out the complete sheath building process. Very well explained and at this point has saved me from buying a $140 pricking iron which I just may never need…..thanks for your great youtube content!
Glad it was helpful!
I still can’t get over what an awesome tutorial that was as is with all your tutorials. I wouldn’t want to take from your potential capability as a knife maker / leather worker / engineering capabilities ect. But you are such a great educator. Thanks for bringing us along. Did I mention great content creator on UA-cam.
Hey E.T. thanks a million man. Your comment means a lot. Have a great weekend!
Brother, I've been watching YT since it's inception. I've had a few YT channels and helped others with theirs. Your content is among the very best out there. Just incredible. Your method of teaching really speaks to me. Thank you! I'm at the point where I made your beginner knife, and the little forge and am about to HT my first knife. Thank you for all your guidance. It's making the process a lot fun!
Heck yeah man! Glad to hear it. Good luck with your build!
@@RedBeardOps Thanks! I also wanted to thank you for getting me to the Blade Forums. WOW!! Incredible artists on that forum, and very humble, helpful people. You rock!
@@thehumblepundit9790 Man that forum has sooo much info on it over the years
Nice craftsmanship, I really enjoyed watching you make the knife sheath. Awesome job.
Your leather work looks great! This worked out perfect for me, I just finished a new knife and was going to start the leather sheath today, great refresher for me! Love your content and appreciate everything you show, one of my favorite channels! 👍

Love it man. Very descriptive. I've been making knives for about 6 months now, and of course, doing some leather working too. Thanks for the video.
Right on!
Beautiful workmanship,thanks for your great channel I’ve recently ventured into knife making and making the sheaths I’ve learned so much from your channel keep up the great work
Awesome Kevin! Glad you're getting something out of the videos!
Beautiful work man!
Thanks Matt!
Man I have drifted away from knives the past 6 months. I’m back and wow what I’ve missed. You’re right, you had no desire to do leather. 😳😳😳 that sheath is gorgeous!!! What a 180 degree change. I’m super jealous. I still have the leather you recommended to me quite a while ago. I’m gonna get back into trying out the leather.
Heck yeah man. It took me a while to enjoy it! I had to accept it was another craft that needed learning! Cheers
Really excellent work!!
Thank you!
Looks fantastic! Great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow man really exquisite work.
Thank you! Cheers!
Looks great!! Keep it up!
will do! Cheers
That looks great!
Thanks!
Thanks for the educational video. I recently started leather craft and really like it. Your knife sheath is beatifully done. I really like the basket weave tooling. My compliments on your skills. Job well done.
Thank you greatly!
Excellent easy to follow video.
Thanks for taking the time to film and share.

Excellent job and very good commentary on process. I really like ur videos.
Thank you very much!
Great job, dude, excellent tutorial for a newb like me to leather work and sheath making.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Innovative and creative. I've been studying leather working techniques for about a year and using the new techniques I've found as I create unique sheaths. I really like using a light under your pattern. New idea for me. I will implement it. Also liked the idea for the Japan Select basket weave punch you used. I've been searching for a good basket weave punch and I will buy one of these. Thank you for really clear instructions.
Nice, Cheers Mark!
Well done as usual.
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice work man! I learned a lot!
Glad I could help!
Enjoyed so much u are doing a great job photography so clear be proud of your work you deserve it. Your leather work # 5
Thank you very much!
Wow! Incredible job sir! 🔥🔥🔥🙌🏻🤙🏻
Thank you! Cheers!
I *LOVE* your use of the rosette stamp on the inside of the camoflauger in the corners. That was very cool. I'm at about 3 months into leathercrafting, and picking up little tips and tricks all over the place.
Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it William! Cheers

Making my first knife for sale this weekend, a rabbit knife. A small stalking knife design only smaller.
Very cool Raymond! And thank you!
Awesome job! A good looking handmade knife deserves to be housed in a good looking handmade sheath.
Heck yeah, thanks Charles!
Awesome!

Your doing great with your leather craft. Keep chugging on. The Red Beard that could.
I appreciate that!
Thanks for the tutorial! Your vídeos are amazing! 👊😃🗡
Glad you like them! Thank you!
Very good video...Thank you.
Thank you!
Man I sure liked watching your tutorial. I've made over a dozen or so sheaths and have only been doing leatherwork when I can for about 5 months. I don't have all the tools and stuff you do but it sure is nice watching it done. I'll have to get some of that leather you've got. I've just gotten hobby lobby stuff and it's thin so I'll have to redo my sheaths at some point...but hey it's helped me learn.
Heck yeah! Good luck with your leather work sir!
Hola amigo, fantástico video. Gracias !!!
Saludos desde Ecatepec, México 🇲🇽
Thanks cheers from Texas!
Nice work, looks good, your saddle stitch with knot is a dying art, not to many saddle stitcher's use it. Thumbs UP!
Thank you very much sir!
Great job , I can only hope to get that good in the amount of time you have spent enjoying the craft 👍
Thank you! Cheers Brock!
VERY NICE....WELL DONE......
Thank you very much!
Thanks for sharing Sir.
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!
great job
Thank you!
You rock man
Thank you!
GREAT VIDEO, LIKED AND SUBSCRIBED
Thank you greatly!
Great job on your way to becoming a pro
Thank you!
you a good job on that project and video
Thanks!
You earned yourself a subscriber! Your videos really helped me with making sheaths for my knifes. Even my morakniv companion has a fqncy looking sheath now😅
Awesome! Thank you!
Yea nice sheath, you should be proud of that leatherwork, I'd be pretty happy to receive a sheath like that with a knife. Good vid as well, I like the way you show what your doing with the narration explaining things as you go, you are a very good teacher, I've learned a lot from your vids. Your self made tools are doing a good job as well :) Good to see.
Thank you very much sir! Cheers
That's great stuff. I making same pattern but just with the Eva foam. And then i ll paint it 👩🏻🎨 thanks for video ❤️love from Istanbul Turkey
Cheers from Texas! Glad you liked it
Very cool
Thanks Francois!
Nice job
Thank you! Cheers!
You did very well. I like your craftsman like attitude where the finished project is good but, the next project could be better because it is just a step on the learning curve. thank you for the detailed list below the video.
Glad you liked it! Cheers!
Nice work, I enjoyed the narrative much better than mumbling while working.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've been wanting to try my hand at leather since a few knives I've made just don't look right in Kydex. This video helps a lot!
Glad I could help!
Nice Job...
Thank you! Cheers!
That tool that was used to make the tooling border deeper is a tracing stylus when used for working on leather. I have seen Japanese Crimson pricking iron being recommended as a good set of irons. They can be used to mark the placement of stitching holes or to punch them all of the way through the leather because they are a hybrid of pricking iron and punching tool.
Thanks for the info!
Very nice tutorial man, this should really help people that are new to leathercraft. Pro tip: If you heat your stamp with a heat gun it will stamp super clean, but not sure how much heat you can put into 3d printed stamp but it works great for the metal ones.
My luck I'd melt it! lol
Haha, I probably would also. Maybe I'll print a stamp and run it through some tests. Either way great video man.
Wow thanx for the vid it will be very helpful.... you are getting better 😏
Thanks Chris! Cheers man
@@RedBeardOps 🙋🏻♂️ hope you make more vids
I think that sheath may be worth more than the knives I make. Thank you for the tutorial.
Lol, thank you sir! Glad you liked this one
I have watched your video at least half dozen times. Here's the highlights: clear, concise, easy to follow and most of all the narrative is in cue with the video. My question is do you make sheaths to sell? the one in your video is an exact match to what i need. I just don't have the time or the skill. I have so many other projects going on I can't start another one. But as clean and meticulous as your work is I would like one of your sheaths. If ou have a website I can check out. Thank you.
Thanks K! I don't make sheaths to sell. If you need a custom sheath; this is your guy - diomedesindustries.com/
Brother I’m a new knife maker and I’ve had a lot of success making knives. The biggest problem I’ve had is finding a reliable person to make sheaths for me. This video lets me know I can do this myself. Great video. Thank you very much. I appreciate you.
Heck yeah! Good luck with your sheaths!
You can do it yourself.............I say that because if I can you can ....just do it.
Very good video, I'm possibly about the same stage with leatherworking in that initially I wanted to be able to make sheaths for my knives, I still picked up some good tips from your work! like your sheath a lot, I will try it for knife I have just finished, Have you tried ritza tiger thread for sewing, really nice, made in Germany I think, keep up the good work..
I've heard good things about that thread! Haven't tried it though. Good luck! Cheers
I love the way your work looks . I need some ideas for sheaths for mountain man time period. Do you have any?
Hey John, maybe make some sheaths with the rough side out?
دائمآ مبدع استمر
شكرا جزيلا لك!
Awesome video, very informational and to the point! I actually followed this process over the last week to make 2 sheaths like this. One thing I ran into that I have a question on. I stored one of my 1080 knives in the sheath overnight and took it out the next morning and noticed blemishes on the bevel, edge, and spine. I'm assuming it was the beginning of rust, although it didn't have the orangish color you'd expect, I'm thinking it wasn't orange yet because I did the whole ferric chloride/stonewashing process on it. After reading some forums people are saying never to store knives in a leather sheath, only use them for transport, but what i experienced happened quickly overnight. I'm thinking it's possible I didn't let the inside fully dry out and that's what ended up doing it. Have you ran into this before, if so do you have any tips/suggestions? I think from now on I'm going to let the sheath sit for at least 24 hours in the sun to dry before putting my knife in it for any extended period of time.
Also just a side comment: amazing videos! I've been watching a lot of them as I've been starting knifemaking and these have been EXTREMELY helpful! I like how you cite your sources by pointing to things you've learned on other channels. I feel like you're gathering all the good core info thats out there, and putting them into these roughly 20 minute long videos that are easy to digest and rewatch when trying it out on my own. Keep em coming!
Thanks man! Glad you're enjoying the videos. I think you probably had some moisture in the sheath. I'd let them dry in the house for 24+ hours before storing the knife in them. I'd also oil the crap out of the blade if you plan to store in the sheath. I generally store separately.. and oil the blade very well.
Great job, James! Came out great!
Can you measure the (mm) thickness of the pin you use to put the hole in for the stitches, please?
I’ll then get my dad to turn up a few on his lathe. Looks like a great tip!
Cheers buddy
🤜🏻💥🤛🏻
Thank you sir! It measures 0.055" in diameter.
