Here's my wife's first leatherwork project! It went so well we bought more tools and a 19 square foot piece of leather! She made this sheath for a kitchen paring knife I made a little while back, you can see the Japanese style octagonal handle poking out.

I really like this sheath design, it has great retention (good enough for a necker!) looks clean and has a belt loop. There is a welt in there to stop the threads from being cut, 100% pro all the way! It looks way better than my photos.

Man that looks great. I think it is so cool that your wife helps and participates with your knifemaking.

this is what I like to see. looks like the start of something great, good job Mrs. Fairly!
 
sweet! my next knife of yours will get a leather outfit :D or the knife after next.. :D cheers!
 
I'm beginning to think the two of you can craft just about anything. Excellent work!! :thumbup:
 
Thanks everyone, my wife is very happy to hear all the kind words. She ordered even more supplies yesterday and will be really set up soon!

She is a very talented artist and has always made things by hand for a living, until recently we both sold jewelry she made for a living. We also collect stones and cut them, we have always been into making things.
 
You're very lucky to have a wife you can connect with in a shared creative way.

Kudos for the sheath.

she has every reason to be, this is a really nice compact sheath!
but with her background, no wonder it's turned out this nice!
( just don't let her near the knife-making tools, or you'll be out of work soon :D :D )
again, very nice!
 
Yeah Sveqs, I can't let her around the grinder or I'll be the "other" Fairly knives!
