After reading and studying several threads in this forum and watching numerous YouTube videos I have created my first ever leather sheath. A thanks to all who answered questions and posted helpful threads.
I had an inexpensive Condor Kephart that came with a sheath that was three sizes to big, the knife would fall out if you looked at it wrong. I figured giving it some pants would be as good a place as any to start.
Dyed it Saddle Tan and then put a coat of protective leather wax on it.
I underestimated how much thread I would need and ran out a inch or so from the tip so it looks a little special in that area. I pulled out a piece of thread that was four times the length of the sheath. I thought that would have been enough.
