@Aquilosdad

Did you make the sheath for it as well?

 

[Aquilosdad]

Yes,I’ve made a couple of leather things so far

 

[Aquilosdad]

The stitching is gradually getting better,it was a bit roughy to start with lol

 

[Ark79]

Very nice
Same here! But after a few projects the stitching becomes as easy as pulling your socks up

 

[Aquilosdad]

I fancy having a go at a pouch next

Pouches are fun A good old boy once told me to “work clean” and everything comes together when you do

Mine is a bit like that, I use a stitch marker wheel then drill through with a 1mm in the bench drill and sew from both sides with two needles. This one is a bit stained from tea on the desk. The knife was a blank from a gun show my friend gave it to me in exchange for handling one for him. This has an iron wood handle with nickel pins.

Looks good,I dyed the sheath and I think it looks better than before.
I used pricking irons to form the holes but I might try the drill as it was difficult to go through 3 layers.
