Make Your Own Leather Skiving Knife Sheaths
Skiving knives are an important tool in your leather crafting toolbox, but they're also one of the sharpest! It's a great idea to make some nice leather sheaths for your skiving knives to protect both the blades and yourself from catching an edge accidentally. We've made up a full free set of patterns for the 3 different size skiving knives our sponsor Weaver Leather offers, and in this video we go through making both a simple slip sheath and a sheath with a snap closure.
It’s called a welt.
Same
is the pattern not available any more 😥
It seems like when you went with buckle guy I lost the pattern for the sheath for the skiving knife the showed from weaver. Can you get it back I would like to have that pattern. Thank you
Gotta love how he says the pattern will be the first link in the description, only for neither of the links on the description to be the pattern
Do you really need a pattern for this? It's a rectangle. Great place to start learning how to make your own patterns.
@@MrFreeGman you are answering to a year old comment. It's not about the easiness of the project, it's about new people to the hobby looking for resources. You say you are gonna provide something, least you can do is be true to your word, be it a rectangle or a circle, some people may not have the 3d spacial awareness to come up with the shape. Again. Not about how easy it is, but rather saying you'll do something and then not doing it
@@isayinyang93 He's providing free educational content for you. Just be grateful. He doesn't owe you anything. Obviously it was an oversight, or he changed his mind, so either way, your snarky and entitled attitude is entirely unwarranted and says a lot about the sort of person you are.
Funny, this was my very second project last week! I improvised it, it's less refined and without the button, I just wanted to get my nads dirty on something simple and I'm happy I did. I learned a lot from your videos and have a couple of your patterns ready for making. This weekend I plan on making the flap card wallet! Thanks for the informative videos.
This will be my very second project as well. Made my first project.
Just a basic of the basic "slip sheath".
in french we called it the "Martyr" because its the part who suffering :) Thank you for your video :)
awwww I love that!
not sure if anyone cares but if you guys are stoned like me atm then you can stream all of the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my girlfriend these days =)
@Ibrahim Bo definitely, I've been watching on instaflixxer for since december myself :D
Another cool video, thanks!

I’ve watched a lot of videos of leather crafters and everyone seems to waste a lot of material. For example, in this project, why didn’t you make that first “rough” cut with a straight edge and use that straight edge as one of the sides of your pattern? Although it only saves about 1/4” or so, those waste cuts add up, and the material isn’t cheap. Is there a reason?
I see so many leather crafters waste so much on UA-cam, it drives me nuts.
I agree.
Was going to comment on the waste
Is there any way to get these patterns still? Couldnt find it on the weaver website anymore
I made my sheath after watching your skiving knife video. I did a couple of things differently than seen here. I designed mine with the strap already attached to the back piece, so the strap and the back are one piece of leather. I also put a liner in mine to cover the snap so I wouldn't run into the snap with my blade. Just to be fancy I dyed the welt piece blue, so my sheath has a cool navy stripe running down the center and blue stitching cause I love the color blue with the natural veg tanned. The only thing that I did completely different was stab the ever loving sh*t out of myself with an awl because I couldn't get the punches to go all the way through the leather. I marked the stitches with the punches but had to use the awl to go through all of the layers of leather... Keep those fingers out of the way of the awl's path..
Good morning, is the free pattern still available?
Interesting approach skiving the welt at the opening, I've never thought of that. Do you think that would work well on a large knife sheath? I make chef knife sheaths for a knifemaker friend (usually 2-3mm thick blades and I aim for 75% of that as my welt thickness). Skiving it at the end might give it a little extra "grip" on the blade, but maybe too tight sliding in. I'd be interested to try it but would be a risky one given the time that goes into a large sheath. Cheers.
Just what kind of glue/cement are you using? Does that cement dries clean/transparent? Thanks love your work
Great content always!!
Thank you for sharing the template. For teaching how to as well. 🙏👍
Great video! The Japanese skiving knife is one of my favorite tools for leather work. Easy to sharpen and versatile!
Leather Sheaths use to attract moisture and affects iron to rust, i mean it's good to protect the iron with oiled thick fabric.
Learned a lot, thank you 🐧, Subscribed ;-)
Thank you "E" you rock. 👩🏿💻👍🏿

First off, I just started leather crafting and your channel has been a huge inspiration to me, so thank you.
I'm making a larger modified version of this sheath for a nikiri chef knife out of 4.5oz - 5.5oz veg tan. I'm noticing that my stitching holes are nice and tidy on the side I'm punching through, but they meander all over the place on the back side. Also, I'm having a really hard time extricating my stitching chisel from the 3 layers of leather I'm punching through. Do you have any insight?
conor im its been a year since you wrote this and were ignored. youve probably found a solution but i will share mine since as far as i know its original. melt some carnuba wax on your stitching chisels and buff off the excess. carnuba is a uniquely hard and durable wax that creates a shell around the material that its applied too. ive found it to be extremely effective in aiding the extrication of chisels and it doesnt need to be reapplied that often. good lick dog.
@@lbdeuce Thank you lbdeuce
@@Exodus5K youre welcome
I made sheaths like these for my three best woodworking chisels. But I forgot to open them up with a bone folder afterwards and one of the chisels went straight through the back when I first inserted it. At least my sharpening skills have improved.
Great video, thanks for sharing ! Would you happen to have the pattern ? I looked for it on the website and haven't found it.
Do you still have this pattern still available?
I have made one from scarp and it great, Made the snap just slightly different, I am improving, Good stuff and so relaxing.
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
Looking forward to your hammer. Looks really nice. Always enjoy your videos and instructions commentary
Зачем клочёк вырезать посередине шкуры???
What glue are you using? I can’t find one I like yet.
I am curious too.
I really appreciate your work. keep it up. but the pattern, unfortunately, was not free.
Very timely as I just finished making a skiving knife. Had to adapt the large pattern a bit but works well! And I definitely feel safer with that super sharp blade covered.
I need a 'Corter Pounder' in my life! Checked the website and did not see it. Was it custom made or ordered? I need to add this to my tool collection!
Nice! I recently purchased one of these and hadn’t got around to making a sheath for it.
Good luck finding the free pattern. Just bull!
Can't seem to find your plans or tools list anywhere here or on the site you are associated with.
Any info on snaps as there are many for different thicknesses etc. Head diameter specs too.
You are such a tease with the corter pounder!!!
The templates are not available anymore i can't see them anywhere ?
What brand of hammer do you use? I've been looking for something similar forever
It is the official "Corter Pounder", a hammer they will hopefully be selling in the very near future...
I can’t find the pattern on your website
Where is the pattern? I clicked the link and didn't see it.
Wow that’s good idea ^^for knife case ill try it today!!
Очень даже здорово!
Спасибо огромное.
This is soooo funny! Mine looks nothing like yours...what happened? I guess it takes a lot of practice, huh? Thanks for the video!
Missed the “free pattern” 😮
I clicked on the link, but cannot find the pattern. Am I missing it somehow? Please help. Thank you!
Schöne Handwerksarbeit.👍
When you tap down the glued pieces do you get little hammer marks on the leather from the edges of the hammer? If so how do you correct that for customer items? Also, which glue do you use? Love the videos!!
I wondered that too, i'm guessing it doesn't leave marks.
A personaly put a piece of leather on one end of my wooden mallet to do this :)
@@twuuwttwu It happens for me but putting a piece of leather on the end is a good idea!
I downloaded the pattern and messed one of the pieces up. Now I can’t find the link to re print. Can we still get the pattern since you’ve switched company’s.
Very good work. How to choose a Leather Skiving Knife for the right hand??? Thank you...
for a minute i thought this was about making my own skiving knife. i have the tools to do it and probably dont need to watch a video on it.
but this would make it easy to store away without worrying about slicing fingers reaching for it.
It's called a welt.
Just bought one of these knives from Weaver. Thank you for the pattern. Saturday project.
Great project. A very useful accessory. Sebastian from Brasil 😎
What type of hammer is that? And what type of glue are you using ? Thank you in advance
Hi I’m new to leatherwork. Can you tell me the size of the priking irons you’re using? Thanks
How do you get your chisels to go through the leather so easily. 3 layers and it sounds like your not even tapping too hard. I have chisels from tandy leather and I can hardly get them through 1 layer-not even a very thick piece of leather.
Hoping to get some skiving knives for my birthday, and now I have a project for them!
What brand cobblers hammer is that you use for tapping glued edges?
Thanks
Great video. Would you go about making a sheath for an ice pick the same way?
I got ahead of myself after I cut out the pattern and forgot to give and put the snap in. Start over or modify.
Thanks for this video. I have a bunch of leather knives I need to make sheaths for. Wouldn't it be a good idea to cover the backside of the snap to prevent it from marring the knife?
So cool
Justo lo necesitaba. Gracias por compartir. Saludo desde Colombia

Thank you for the free pattern.
Your work is clean and nice 👌🏼
Does it make sense to use the same gauge (thickness) of leather to create cushions and back rests for chairs - specifically a mid-modern style?
Nice! What kind or what number of snaps you use?
Super idea. Thanks form Tom👍👍👍
Simple and practical. I will make. Thank you!
I usually make a fold were the knife is sharp so I don’t have to put a weld
Thank you for the patterns and the video, both well done.
Aussie is pronounced ozzy, not ossy. Thank you.
Are you selling your cutting handles yet?
This is going to be my first project.
Just in case u're ran out of ideas. U can try to make cafe racer seat. 👍🏼
Very good. Thank you. Brother.
great video and thank you for the pattern
What kind of glue do you use ?
Nice! Thank you!
It's called a welt.
Excelente! Vou fazer.
New hammer. Nice!
Much love my brother
Excelente 👍👍👍
Dentist at 4pm?
Thank you.
👍👍👍👍👍
what is the thickness of the skin
Looks to be 4-5 oz
👏👏👏
I appreciate the pattern, but I figured it out on my own and made it on the fly. Not very difficult, mine doesn't look perfect, but it does the job. I made mine right after I watched your video when you said it's easy to get cut with those skiving knifes laying around, so I made them immediately after no delay.
lol i just finished this for my knife and it sure looks/performs better than my "fold over and rivet" cover/sheath i made i simply traced the outline of the knife and added approx 1/4" all the way around the outline, cut out the template and away i went your beautiful projects inspire this newbie to venture deeper in to the leather crafting world tyfs
I followed along and made my own skiving knife sheath...only for my knife to cut through one of the faces because I didn't put it in _perfectly_ straight. Is it normal to have to be that careful about the precise angle of the blade as the sheath goes on? If not, is there a mistake I may have made?
