My question is do you make sheaths to sell? the one in your video is an exact match to what i need. I just don't have the time or the skill. I have so many other projects going on I can't start another one. But as clean and meticulous as your work is I would like one of your sheaths. If ou have a website I can check out. Thank you.

That tool that was used to make the tooling border deeper is a tracing stylus when used for working on leather. I have seen Japanese Crimson pricking iron being recommended as a good set of irons. They can be used to mark the placement of stitching holes or to punch them all of the way through the leather because they are a hybrid of pricking iron and punching tool.
