Simple belt sheath

[Fallbrook Forge]

I used a piece of budget 9-10oz leather. It took forever to get the ferro rod loop right. There’s mistakes and oopsies but I think it turned out ok.
I went with some rudimentary markings on the sheath as an attempt to match the “primitive” feel of the knife. I need work in that area, lots.

thanks again to Horsewright for his write ups and help!

Great job. Stitching looks good as does the finish on the welt!

Thanks! The welt turned out ok, the rest of the edges are a bit rough, but that's the leather. The last one I made I used Hermann Oak and the edges were MUCH nicer. Leather quality makes a big difference.

Looks good I like the circle hou've stitched.

Did you sink the thread?

Nice job. Yes the quality of the leather does make a big difference. Even then where you cut your project from makes a difference too.

yessir. I run a groove for the stitching and once it’s tight I run the stitch wheel over it again to get it down in the groove.

I like how you handled the fire rod loop detail.
