In this video, watch Master Bladesmith, Kyle Royer, take you along as he makes the most challenging sheath he has ever made. Kyle has a passion for metalwork, it’s fun, leatherwork NOT so fun. Kyle absolutely loves knifemaking but sheath-making is not his favorite thing to do.
Kyle starts off making a mosaic damascus frog from pure nickel and 1084 which he will gun-blue, this is an experiment and something he wants to explore for his blades.
Next, follow along as he makes this curvaceous leather sheath fit his fighter to near perfection.
May the Forge Be With YOU!

Kyle, I cannot tell you how much of a relief it is to hear you say that you aren’t a fan of leatherwork and yet to see your excellent results nevertheless. I, too, am not a huge fan of leatherworking and sometimes the relative lack of enjoyment worries me that I might be limited in my humanly possible results. Thanks to your honesty and incredible work ethic, I feel that I can take on leatherworking with considerably greater optimism
