That is one nice bit of work Ade,well impressed.I like the the way you'v layard the welt

[Adam Savage]

Cheers buddy, kind of you to say so. With regard to the welt, all the videos and articles that I have watched/read showed it done this way.

One shaped welt that runs the full length of the sheath, then another piece glued either side of the main welt to account for the thickness of the handle. These additional pieces are then shaved down with a scary looking razor tool called a safety beveller (aka a skiver).

It seems to have worked out pretty well.

My favourite bit I have to say is the edge slicking, it's amazing to see a rough arse piece of leather turn into a smooth mirror finish.

I think I must have been watching the wrong people do it lol.
Totally agree with the slicking. It does make for a classy looking sheath.

Keep up the great work mate

Cheers buddy. Like I said before, it's actually not hugely difficult to do.
The trick is to plan it out, take it slowly and use the right tools for the job.
