Leon,

I know mate - not long to practice on your challenge then huh? Best make sure you get that pot stand sorted out - I've tried holding a billy can over the flames - your hand gets too hot

I broke the tang on my Eric Jonsson mora so I ground the blade down from 4.5 inches to three inches to give a new tang and used a piece of Black poplar burl to make a new handle and sheath. Just need some reindeer leather now to finish it off

It depends on materials you want to use, leather costs about £3.70 for a square foot. If you are making a dangler sheath you will need a D ring as well.

Good heavy grade linen thread can be bought in lengths of about 10 meters, cost is about 85p.

You'll need some contact adhesive (I tend to use PVA, but anything will do).

After that it is time and the design for making one.

So where DO you buy leather for leatherwork from?!?

Can't find any!!!
