...and my patience. Getting that basket weave to look good is a challenge. And for some reason you can't just go back to 120 and sand it out again ;-(

Looks good! Did you machine stitch and the go back and do the lacing?

Thanks! They were both glued. The fillet sheath is hand stitched. The other one is just glued and laced, no sewing/stitching.

There is a thread going on in another FB group about welts and stories of guys who have cut through their stitching and into their hands while putting a knife in a sheath. Both of these have welts so the stitching and lacing is through 3 layers of leather and protected from being cut by the blade.
