New Sheaths in the making.

[Greg]

Here's two new sheaths in the making, they are still in need of some work but hopefully I will have them finished soon.

 

[Greg]

Just updated the pictures, I have added the firesteel holders.

Another one bites the dust. Well done Greg - got the bug big time by the look of it.

Looking good Greg!
I like the wolf!

 

[Greg]

Thanks John, next time I see you I will bring them to show you.
As for the wolf stamp well that wasn't to great so I have had to improve them using my artistic talent!

Nice looking sheaths, are they going to be used for any knife in particular?

Sewing the belt loop.

Belt loop sewn & sheath glued together.

Away for a few minutes drilling the holes in preparation to sow........................

Let sowing commence:
Threading the needles .

First Stitches:

Job Done - well the first sheath anyway, No2 tomorrow!

Now to clean the sheath up, dye it and when the knife is done wet mold it, not alot really!

 

[John Fenna]

Yeah - your house does look a bit tidier than mine Greg!
Nice neat stitching too.

 

[Greg]

OK, I have done both of them now! (Hands are in bits due to tightening the thread! )

I have given them both a quick buff up, now they need a bit of dye!

Looking pretty good on the belt! No comments about the model please!

 

[John Fenna]

Are you going to wet mould them?
If so, I would do this before you dye them.

Good point, well presented!!

I guess I'll have to get the knives finished then!

 

[Greg]

I have just spoken to the future recipients of these sheaths and they are happy with them not being wet moulded, They already like the look of them as is, so without further a due heres me dyeing the sheaths and the almost finished product!

How about that a perfect fit for the Mora aswell!

 

[Greg]

They're still very dull so time for a bit of a polish:

 

[Greg]

And here's the final finish, I am chuffed to bits that I achieved this.

It's the "Bulling Finger" that gives him away !!! Bet you had a dab of water in the polish tin lid too !!

Damn the secrets out HaHaHa!

I thought it would give the sheaths a bit of class!

Thanks for all the kind and confidence building comments!
