Here you go.

Here are a few I did recently. That last picture (#4) is of a knife that came to me for a sheath and it is one of those knives that just really clicks when you see it.....so I picked it up from the maker at Blade this year about 3 minutes after the show opened. I didn't want to take any...

Mook, pay attention to Tracy and Dave (DC). You don't EVER want to SOAK a sheath in anything, particularly oil or wax or oil AND wax. Even dipping it briefly is, in my opinion forbidden. If you do you will get way more on and in than you can ever wipe off. Be warned! Paul

I'm with Dave on this one. I don't and won't use the Eco Flo. The only dyes I use are Feibing's Professional Oil Dye in dark Brown or Black, but I should also mention that I don't use dye period.....except on finished edges. I buy my leather pre dyed at the tannery, and if you use enough to...

Here's a technique for you guys to chew on. I have a splitter, but I also buy 2/3 oz. leather that exactly matches the 7/8 oz. leather I regularly use in my sheaths. The sheath in the picture below is several layers of leather counting the front, Chevron, welt and back. The chevron and the...

Hello guys. I just found this site. I'll stand in the back of the room and watch, and listen quietly. Looks like a great place. Paul

Hello, I just joined up a few minutes ago after finding a link to this forum on another site. Some of you may know me from other sites as "sheathmaker", but I decided to go with my real name over here....Paul Long. Looks like a great neighborhood, and I'm looking forward to participating. Paul
