Making an Adjustable Cross Draw Leather & Kydex Survival Knife Sheath Leather Working ASMR

Let's make an EVEN MORE complicated leather knife sheath! This time with laced edges instead of sewn. I had the idea for this sheath with adjustable angle position for cross draw carry. I used line 20 snaps on a Kydex plate to isolate it from the movement of the belt loops. It can be adjusted almost a full 45 degrees: From straight 90 degrees to almost horizontal. A bit of a Rube Goldberg? Maybe. But it actually works exactly how I imagined it. The only change I would make would be to use black snaps instead of the silver. But I was making this with literally what I had on hand. The knife this time is a Cold Steel OSI Sub Hilt.
Thanks to Tandy Leather for sending me some samples of their new brass stamp line!
My laser is the excellent xTool P2 55W CO2
Below is a link for saving a few bucks purchasing a P2 direct from xTool. I was given this code to pass on to my viewers when I first received the the laser. Hopefully it still works:

Exceptional workmanship the lacing is beautifully done there is one thing I would suggest on the lacing oil it every year without fail . The angel adjustment clever . I've done in the past but not with snaps just a slot cut in a radios just for people to pick what angle they wanted with certain blades then I would make the sheath accordingly with angled belt loop. I also put it on an adjustable strap running down from the belt to find there sweet spot for handle distance from the belt . A lot of people like there knife handle at arm's length, most do not in all my years like there knife handle at the hip. I used to us the adjuster for every customer they loved being able to see and feel the the knife purchase. You do wonderful work with a very neat mind for order very unusual for leather worker keep on doing what your doing . Happy trails

@RoadAgentLeather 9 ай бұрын

Thanks! And thanks for the subscription! I think for a cross-draw sheath, on the hip makes more sense as it would be hard to reach across your body and grab a knife lower on your thigh. I was looking at it more like a sword scabbard. Yes! I thought about a slot myself, but decided the snaps would be easier/faster to make adjustments on the fly while wearing. As mentioned in the video description, the only thing I would change is to use black snaps instead of the silver ones.

Kydex can be finicky to work with. But it's very strong and that's why I prefer to use it. I have considered 3D printing them in PLA or PETG. The benefit it here is even higher levels of customization. It's another idea I have in the back of my head for a future video.

Any other color just would not work. Like everyone else the stitching is a masterpiece. Thank you for sharing.

@RoadAgentLeather 9 ай бұрын

The casing? It's for preparing the veg-tan leather to accept tooling. It's just plain water to moisten it. The saddle soap helps with the process . . . but it's definitely not something most people do. I leave it in the bag for a couple of hours. Some people leave it overnight (though I haven't found that necessary). There's lots of info on the web and on KZfaq about casing leather so I typically don't focus on it.

The saddle soap helps lubricate the leather fibers: This makes carving with a swivel knife easier (if you're using one) and helps make the leather more pliable, which results in better stamp impressions.
