    7:52 Jeremy, when ever I accidently scratch brass rivets, I use Birchwood Casey Brass Black liquid to blacken the rivet.

    I use a fabric pencil and I wait to set my eyelets until after I finish sanding. That way I can wash out the sheath or holster with soap and water.

    Awesome work. I've made a couple leather and wooden sheaths. But never kadex .but i lost a knife out of a kidex sheath and have another knife that fits pretty good. But it was to lose so I contact glued a leather strip inside. It worked great. And I've been carrying it for months and no troubles

    The foam in your press, is it the same type of foam as in “gardeners kneeling pads”, the large rectangular ones? I have made some rough sheaths/axe masks out of thin wall pvc, and I have been shaping them to the tools with my fingers with my hands (tea towel to protect from the heat).

    Hi Jeremy , I’m a beginner knife maker. I have just made a filing jig following gough customs instructions. I am struggling with the angle of the bevels and the plunge line do you think you could make a video about this and also what grit sandpaper should I use for hand sanding the knife

    • @flmoose1
      @flmoose1 3 роки тому +1

      I'm new to knife making Too. Just applying several coats of tung oil to my guest blade.
      I had series problems grinding the bevel using a 2x42 grinder. I just couldn't get things even. I ended up doing a full flat grind and my blade is fillet knife thin. Lol
      Anyway, I think Jeremy will say it's all about practice and finding what works best for you. Finishing up the final grind on my second knife, and failing, I tried the push stick method I saw Sam Towns, Bkadesmith channel and it were for me.
      As for your plunge lines, make or get a fileguide. Check Out RedBeardOps, he makes one

    To cut the webbing, heating a non-sharp metal tool with a torch, like a putty knife, cuts and cauterizes in one step. Same idea, an ice pick makes clean holes

    Every sheath I make scratches my knives, even though it seems to fit well. I've even tried not riveting them on one side until I'm all done sanding, then wash them out and wipe them down, rivet, aaaand hairline scratch. So loose it rattles and it still scratches my blades.

  • @marki3884
    @marki3884 3 роки тому

    Jeremy: One thing I always struggle with is the spacing from the edge of the blade to the center of the eyelet. Would you mind shedding some light on that? I think I may be going too far from the edge based on this video.

  • @thomaschetney990

    Jeremy I use the soft side of Velcro (glued) inside my sheath. Never have a scratch and use a tension screw if need be.
