Excellent video. Thanks. I’ve got a couple of knives to practice on.

Great video, thank you for the detailed information.

Nice vid dude. I glue the welt in on both sides then stitch. 100 and 1 ways to do this. I don't dye much of the inside of the sheath, just what folks will see. If you cut deep enough for the stitches on the inside of the sheath for the belt loop there are no worries about cutting the stitches, they are below the cut line. Never thought of gluing them, I'll try that. The taper on the knife helps with that too. I wet form after stitching too as everything is already lined up and stitched. Not complaining about your process as it works fine. I just do it a little different. Same results.

Amazing leather project and a very concise and detailed explanation. Young people like yourself makes me believe that this generation has a fighting chance.

Hey, Love the intro. I had wanted to do the writing style kind of like Myth Busters.

Nice work!

Great Video: next time at hardware store, check out Johnson's wax in big yellow can( get much+ lasts) Handed down from my grandfather..Scent disapates in 5 minutes.Great for leather, read can..I let residue build up storing same rag with it.Even if refurbishing a mower, give it a wipe down.Rubber, ceramic or even storing your carbon steel blade.I have unused Union cut kabar collection I trust Johnson's for storage..(beats cosmolene)..I learned organized fashion to do sheath, liked the drill press, never thought of that..Subbed...

u clever man, im never making a sheath but this guy made it look so easy

Brad, Just a word of caution .. you use the power sanders without any sort of mask protection. Leather does not dissolve in the lungs. Remember coal miners and black lung 'disease' from coal dust in their work environment and you get the idea. Leather dust from what I've researched can be very fine and hard to detect. Get a good mask with filter cans on the side. You can open the cans from time to time and see how much gunk they saved you from. This would also apply if you are hand sanding. It's a pain, but you are young and have a lot of leather crafting potential ahead ... Short term hobbyists [including retirees like myself] don't have to worry too much ... but even then ... a covid mask is better than nothing.

People who make how-to videos, this is a how-to on how to make those videos. This is presented so that anyone could do this, and have a well crafted piece. Thanks for the vid.

[woodbox]

Thank you 🙏 I have watched again this year and will follow your steps.

[Jester]

I like how you give reasons why you took each step. Great work

[earlelzy]

I need to make a sheath for my knife now. That is why I got into the leather craft in the first place in January.

Thank u so much for sharing this. I have a couple favorite knives that need a sheath. I want to make one for myself. I’m a single momma with 2 sons who want one as well. I much to learn but so excited to try. Wish me luck. Thanks again.

Excellent video, and editing. Thank you.

[retiredcarpenter]

OUTSTANDING ….
I don't see how you could have done a better job....THANK YOU

[jimbernard]

Brad that was great. I'm getting a new bushcraft knife tomorrow and I don't like the sheath it comes with, this vid has inspired me to make my own. Thanks!

[mattmorgan]

Well presented . The steps are easy to follow.

[alphadogforge]

Im a knife maker, and i have to agree man, your video is the one that set me on birdie, not par 😉, very simply laid out, i thought to myself oh god, i have all these knifes i cant sell cause they don't have sheaths, noone wants a knife and no sheath, thank you sir, great! Looking sheath btw, hell with the thumbs down people, excellent job,

My daughter, Emma, 13, selected this as her very first project.
She's up to the leather shop at the moment getting stuff while the molded sheath is drying...
I'll probably not get that really old buck hunting knife back...
Thanks!
And your layout is wicked fast.
