In this weeks episode, we make a basic sheath out of vegetable tanned leather. My cousin had an old Buck knife and wanted something newer to carry it in. The result is one heavy duty sheath! Oh yeah, Trent gets high on leather glue!

That was really great. I've been told by lots of people, "Oh, making a sheath is simple." But, if you've never done it, it's daunting. You've taken weeks off my learning curve and probably saved me 100`s of dollars in wasted leather. Thanks!

If you have a groover tool, it is good to recess the stitches on the inside of he sheath (square, where the belt loop is stitched), to keep then out of the way so that the knife doesn't cut into that thread every time you insert the blade.

I know I'm too many years late, but I want to mention that these Buck fixed blades such as this 102 woodsman have of course aluminum, plus micarta , and the black synthetic called phenolic which is what pool balls are made from. The early " 4 strike " handmade Buck fixed blades had aircraft Lucite as the handle material.

+purgatoryironworks I do not know why (!?! ;-) ) but the comment of this lad reminds me of my Dad. To understand the bad this kind of behavior could do to some people, will be always too late. Strangely this people usually are and do better than who always find in them the "hair in the egg" as we say in Italy, and never avoid to make them notice. this, fortunately is THEIR problem. Hope honestly for mr. Colt45 here not to waste again too much time to get this, as my Oldie. cauz' even you Colt, one day, will run out of shots.

hey trent for that last step of wetting the sheath to fit the knife could i dry it out with a heat gun instead of waiting a couple of days to dry or would that mess up the leather?
@purgatoryironworks
@purgatoryironworks 10 жыл бұрын
Dont use a heat gun but you can throw it in the oven on the lowest setting WITH THE DOOR OPEN. It will dry in a few hours but make sure you wrapped your knife very well as the cold metal will condensate tremendously.

Very informative. I bought a Ka-Bar 5706 Swabbie. I want to make a custom sheath for it using a kydex liner, because it's a 1095HC steel, and a leather outer. I want it to look like a classic leather sheath. I don't want it to rot the blade when it's kept stored in the sheath... Is this possible? I don't care for the sheath that it comes with... It's too big and long and does not fit the side of my leg. I also considered a nice thick kydex sheath. Though, I love the look of leather... Can you give me any suggestions?

the use of a 'stitch groover' would have given you cleaner stitching lines. your stitches would have been more flush with the surface too. they are under $20 and worth it. :)

+ZombieFighterOf1987 Absolutely Necessary?? Not Really, but it does 2 things A: Makes the stitching easier by keeping both halves together when you are piercing, then stitching, and B: leaves a mechanical join BEFORE the stitching, so the blade edge isnt working the stitching from inside. For me at least, the extra few minutes is worth it to keep things crisp and extend the life of the Sheath.

Tandy leather factory is pretty much the only game in the retail town. And yes, 10.00 a sq ft is an average price and thats if you buy a whole side, so 250.00. Your BEST bet is to find a tack repair place and go beg for scraps. They should have plenty for what you need.

+Uruz2012 As an experienced carpenter I am well aware of the benefit of a sharp blade as well as the function of a draw knife, but we're not talking about a draw knife. Cutting towards yourself is generally a bad idea, the slightest slip while pulling that blade would have resulted in a horrible wound, something easily avoided by using a cutting surface.
