Thanks! The blade is 2.5 inches long, and the handle is 3 inches long, so 5.5 inches overall. ~Noah

Thanks guys. I do plan on using this as my EDC, so I wanted it to be mostly concealed so as to not scare the people I work with--they are all city people, so they have that "knives = weapons" mentality ~Noah

Hello everyone, I just finished this pocket sheath for my JK Handmade Knives "Neckmuk". It is made of 7-9oz horsehide leather and hand stitched with hemp thread. I used a new dye color--Cordovan--and it seems to be really difficult to photograph, but then again, it could be that I was using...

I JUST found this thread--very cool, Jake! I am always impressed by handmade straight razors, because they look like they are very difficult to get right. ~Noah

No problem at all, Rusty! I'm sorry for your loss, and I hope your daughter gets to feeling better. ~Noah

I might've just missed it, but is this still going to happen? ~Noah

Thanks Fritz! I get my horsehide leather from a company in New York called Milton Sokol. You can call them at 718-441-2226 and ask for Pete Olsen if you are interested, although I don't know if they will ship to Germany. Thanks Larry! ~Noah

You're quite right, Carey! Here you go: ~Noah

Hello everyone, This is a sheath I whipped up real quick for a knife that I forged with the help of Tai Goo. I had made a sheath for it right after making the knife, but I decided that it didn't meet my standards. This is made of 7-9oz horsehide leather, hand stitched with hemp thread, and...

I use Fiebings Leather Balm w/ Atom Wax followed by Sno-Seal, myself ~Noah

Well, I think that they would only need to be about the same size as currently available belt and pocket clips for leather sheaths that you can get from Tandy. About 1/2" wide with 1.5" to 2" of actual clip, and they normally have another 1/2" or 3/4" extending below that for a rivet. ~Noah

Any chance of making something like this for leather sheaths? Pocket clip sheaths for smaller knives seem to be gaining popularity in my circles. ~Noah

Last I checked, yes. Green Fiebing's Leather Dye (Spirit-Based), and Forest Green and Emerald Green for Eco-Flo (Water-Based) ~Noah

I've heard people swear by Lexol, I've heard people swear by Pecard's, I've heard people swear by Aussie's Leather Conditioner, etc. Everyone has their favorite. I usually just rub a little extra virgin olive oil on with my fingers, let it soak in, and check the leather for flexibility, and do...

I don't want to badmouth a sheathmaker, especially one that I don't know, but that is not the way to handle a knife you've been given to make a sheath for. I hope that the dye/rust spots come out okay, and hopefully you don't have any more problems with it ~Noah

Every WIP I've seen on sheaths like that have been as Dave described (or cut in half with a saw instead of split). The wood is split/cut in half, then the profile is drawn onto one half of the wood and carved out with a narrow chisel/engraver until the blade fits properly, and then the two...

Both the push dagger and its sheath look great! I have to say that I'm not really a fan of woven-laced edges on sheath, but you kept yours pretty classy looking ~Noah

Agreed, on both counts. It is definitely nice, as your work always is, Dave. I also have to admit that I'm liking that clip a lot more than the plain ones. As for wordsmith's question, there is also a kind of pocket sheath that is generally pocket-shaped with no clip, I just don't have a...

Joined. Definitely a good idea! ~Noah

Bump :)
