Could I just echo @Mary McNs comment - every single knife of Sandys' is clearly a Labour of Love, and it amazes me that they don't cost considerably more than Sandy asks for them. The amount of work involved in each knife is beyond belief, which is why it is such an honour to own one.

Sandy, I am absolutely blown away with this creation of Steven's knife sheath. The amount of work put into the sheath is amazing, let alone the work put into creating the blade and knife scale sculpture! Thank you so much, it is an honour and privilege to see you create such a work of art. I will keep and treasure these videos. Can't wait to see the finished results! Cheers Mary

Never occurred to me how much work was involved in making a sheath. Great video.

my wife is a experienced saddle/bridle stitcher and has worked on horse saddles for royalty,she says your attention to detail is very good.respect

I remember back when you started this channel after you began making knives. In that time you have you evolved into a master craftsman with a legendary knives. Not only that, you have evolved further into a True master craftsman by sharing your skill, process, ideas, and being a teacher. "One who can teaches truly understands his craft"

I think you do quite well with a teaching video that you say isn't a teaching video. I happened upon this video and it was very helpful, even if I have never made a sheath for anything and my leather working days, such as they were, are a long time ago. I very much enjoyed this video. Thank you!

I'm a novice at working leather into a knife sheath. I've built a couple of arrow quivers before, and was happy with them. But I've never built a knife sheath before. I was gifted a nice piece of leather, and I'm looking forward to building two sheaths. One for me, and one for my brother who gifted me the leather. I've watched a lot of videos about building knife sheaths and as of yet have not felt confident enough about starting. I've learned more from your video than any others I've watched, and realize I need to build my tool chest a little. But now I feel confident, that given right tools, I can build a quality sheath for my knife and my brother's knife. I thank you immensely for posting your method of building a quality knife sheath.

I can't thank you enough. My problem was that I didn't have enough material under the sheath to level it and make the prong go through where it was supposed to be. I knew as soon as I saw how you put the wood AND the piece of leather under it to level it. This really helped me a lot. I have two knives of my own now I am going to tackle the sheaths on and I'll do a vid to show them to you when I'm done. Wow, I really appreciate you taking the time in your busy schedule to do this vid. I'm sure I'm not the only one that got something from your patient explanation. ATB to you and hoping Mandy is doing better today! Louise :)

Love your Leatherwork. Your choices of thread and colors are second to none. The Beard is looking good too!

Sandy, this is the best "not a tutorial" on sheath making I've seen. I learned quite a bit.

This is the best video on the internet of making leather knife sheath !!! Great work as always jack !!! And nice maxpedition gear in the background floor :)

A true craftsman, its a joy watching you work. Thanks for the videos.

What a lot of detail goes into the sheath!

I learned a great deal from your video. I am getting ready to attempt my first sheath and your video was so calmly explained and had great camera work to make the stitching understandable. Great job & thanks!

Got new for you , Your one of the best.your knives and sheaths

Thanks for sharing such an informative video Sandy. I've learnt so much from you. Just finished my first every knife sheath, all from following your directions. I really do think this is worthy of being " a tutorial". You are a wonderful teacher.

Fantastic, really enjoyed this Sandy.

A very well done video and a beautiful sheath. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills and talent with us!

What a brilliant brilliant walkthrough Sandy, I learnt so much watching this and cant wait for part two. Thanks you so much for sharing this ~Peace~

Awesome video man helped me out a lot!

That locking stitch! 👍👍👍 thank you!

Learnt a lot sandy thank you

Cant wait for part 2. Very nice video. Looks amazing.

Always the professional ! Great video,wonderful sheath,thank you. Learned a great deal!

Excellent work! Take pride in everything you do! My dad taught me that long ago.

Beautiful work!

great tip on using soap for sealing the edge. i've used gum tragacanth for years but will have to try the soap on my next project

Hey, many thanks for sharing your skills and techniques. Very much appreciated.

Very detail , you are a perfectionist Sandy . Thank you for sharing your knowledge .

Nice! That's a lot of work and amazing craftsmanship.Great video.

Great work Sir, I really appreciate the time you took to make the video

Wow! Very nice! You're a great teacher, thank you!!!

Fantastic video sandy really well explained. I've been thinking lately of doing leather for my knives and now I have your tutorial to guide me. Atb miles

Awesome step by step, thank you for an excellent tutorial on this project.

Love it Sandy. Your videos show every detail and the care and attention needed to create one of the best knives on the market, which are worth every penny! Thoroughly enjoyed every minute mate, can't wait for part 2! Thanks for sharing, ATB Shaun

brilliant video, liking the tv in the background, keeps things real

Dear Sandy, thanks for the video, with all the details you showed has saved me a lot of "failed sheaths" that should have been done before reaching the quality of its work. thank you very much Gastón Santiago, Chile

an excellent job has been done, I am thrilled how much you pay attention to the details, your video materials are so inspiring, I wish you a lot of luck in your future work and thank you for unselfishly sharing your knowledge with others

Thanks for sharing your hard earned skills with us sandy, I defo want to try to make my sheaths as neat as yours, they really have looked top notch for quite some time now, well ever since I've been watching you lol Atb jay

Nice video for me to learn something about sheathmaking. The soap is a lovely trick I usually have rough edges I polish them, but it is less beautiful than glade sides.

Around 8:34 you talk about using a free-hand stitch groover. I have never seen one of those. What I usually do is take the guide out of the normal stitch groover and run it alongside a straight edge. But heck that little thing sure would come in handy. Great video.

Hi Jack, Thank you so much for one of the most interesting videos on knife leatherwork I have seen! I wish you luck, stay well, and thats an order! Take care mrbluenun

I just love it, its well explained and the finish product is amazing. I was thinking to make a sheath for my machete, but i lack the leather tools so its on the stand still. Thank you for showing us how to grab the bull on the horns , Cheers

Beautiful work, thanks for sharing!

you said your not an expert leather craftsmen but I think this video proves otherwise. Very nice piece of work!

That was so interesting and entertaining to watch. Thank you Sandy for showing your way of making the sheath. Osmo

very nice attention to detail , seeking to improve oneself in one"s desired art is the sign of a true craftsmen . Nice one Sandy look forward to the next one . Martin

Do you have a video on how to make a template for the sheath? Please say you do. Love your video. True artisan!!

Thanks for you share wit us, I think you doing very professional and with love !

That was an excellent video thanks for posting

Very nice craftsmanship sir!

Sandy, Great video, I learn something new with each one you post. Especially appreciate how you take time to explain each step. All the best, ~John

Good simple quality work that you know will last a long time !

Going to try the soap trick on some leather today. Thanks,

GREAT VIDEO. YOUR'RE A GREAT TEACHER !!!!!!!! THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!

awsome sheath for awsome knife them sheaths would look nice with a ferro rod holder to very nice work Sandy.

You make it look easy.

Hi Sandy. Thanks for showing how you make knife sheaths. The details on the way you make things are very much appreciated. Thanks for this video. It looks simple, but after making one sheath (a few years ago) I know that there is more than doing the tasks. It is both art and skill. The details you demonstrate are show are important and important for anyone who wants to make a sheath. The details, drain for example, demonstrate the care by which you craft things. I look forward to part two. Peace, Ken

Thanks Sandy. Interesting video.

Meticulous care- thanks Sandy.

I am eagerly awaiting Part 2. Very informative as are all your videos Sandy. As I watch more and more of your videos they show what a truly hand created item we are buying from you.

Fascinating Sandy. As you say, no short cuts. A real craftsman job. Noel

Well that was an excellent video Sandy and I will use some ,no all of your hints to help me make a better sheath,real Jack Hargreaves vibe in this video made me quite homesick.Good on you mate regards Tom.

very well done sandy , i think you have taken your to the highest level.. take care.. ..bill

Very nice video. This will help me a lot.

I must disagree with one of your statements Sandy. You are an expert leather worker. What you do takes a lot of skill, patients and practice to accomplish. Your "drive" to produce the best possible product is impressive. Great video!

Brilliant video Sandy. Fascinating and informative. You are true artist thanks for the inspiration. Oh and Merry Christmas

Absolutely impeccable work, mate. What thread are you using there?

Single race is the word you were looking for Sandy, burnishing tool is called a slicker, just a thought Sandy, have you tried to dye the edge of the sheath, then burnish it with the slicker or have you tried a small piece of leather, it should come up like a mirror, then you can put some resoline on to seal the edge, just a thought mate, that is how I do mine, another hint for you Sandy beeswax the thread before stitching, the when you pull the thread tight it will stay there while you put the needles in for the next stitch, but then I have an industrial machine, so don't have to hand stitch that bit, but your finished items I find very,very good, keep the good work up mate.. Ray

Just smashing Bobby. Worth every single second twice over. Need to watch 2/3 times, also need all products, tools names. Thanks. Tommy.

Thank you, what a great video

absolutly gorgeous................

Loving this channel. Your knives are beautiful. What leather do you use? Thanks buddy.

Great video thanks!

Masterful job

Complimenti👍 Stupendo tutorial,come stupende le vostre lame. Grande artigiano,vorrei tanto vedervi dal vivo,è magari imparare.👍👍👍

Awesome work, subscribed. Where did you get that grinder?

very good simple to follow video bud cheers

Super video! I have always wondered how to use a chisel properly. That is definitely a better method then just using my awl to punch the holes. One quick question...how do you get your dye so uniform on the sheath? I have SO much trouble applying the dye (without streaks) to the sheaths I have made. Thanks for your time.

Enjoyed the video so much thanks for sharing. That was an absolutely beautiful sheath that would make anyone proud to carry. Really enjoyed the grandfather clock ticking in the background. It made me feel like i was sitting next to you while you making the sheath. Also very much enjoyed the intermission with your dog. Liked and loved this video.

Great vid, thanks for sharing.

Excellent video, Sandy. At the beginning you mention a leathercraft channel that I couldn’t pick up. What’s the name again? Thanks!

Hi Sandy there really aren't any shortcuts in making your knives. The sheath I have on my knife is absolutely stunning, keep up the great work! ATB Pete

Sandy, how do you know the stitches will be in perfect alignment on the back side when you punch through? Amazing tutorial IMHO.

Beautiful sheath. Definitely worth more than $20

Great vid mate if you dont mind me asking were did you get your leather stamp did you make it yourself or is there a company in uk that does them for you

Hello Sandy, Thanks for the detailed video. I have a real interest in making knives, and of course the knife wouldn't be complete without the sheath, so thanks again for taking the time to make this video. Also, would you be able to suggest a good entry-level supplier for leather tools? All the best, Sam

hey, great vid really helpful :). what type of contact adhesive do you use?

Great job Sandy. What thickness of leather do you use?
