How to make custom knife sheath by hand - full tutorial

Full length, in depth tutorial of how I made this sheath.
I tried to include names of tools and products along the way during the video, but if you have questions about any particular products or tools used - ask away.
One thing I didn’t manage to mention in the video is the leather I am using is from Wickett and Craig. It’s their standard grade 8-10 oz carving side.
The main color is an eco Flo oil dye - wheat color with fiebings show brown fade. Fiebings dark brown antique paste. Resolene used for a resist and final finish.
Thanks for watching! Any comment or feedback is much appreciated.

Very beautiful work! On thick leather like that I just use a small drill press. Saves a ton of time. I know some of the purists don’t like that… but at the end of stitching you can’t tell any difference.

Great looking knife and sheath. You do good work but you really need to watch transferring dirt from your hands to your leather. I always wash my hands with Dawn before I touch my leather. Oil or dirt can easily stain you leather. I've been there.

Recently retired, playing with this stuff. Awesome presentation. Keep it up. Love your dog. Beautiful end product. Thanks for showing nuances to make it look professionally done.

I am a leather worker... I've been at it now for nearly 45 years. Generally, when I see a knife maker attempt a sheath I have come to expect a disaster. This wasn't. I am quite impressed. There are a few things you should consider changing, but short of those, you did very well.
