I am attempting to make a Skeleton Key sheath from an old belt

using a belt for sheath material?? I wanna see this bro!!!

I started it. He’s just copying me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> It only works for smaller knives though due to width restrictions. But belts are a cheap source for leather if the knife is small enough. I can get brand new belts from the belt guy at the Sale Barn for $3 each. Or sometimes I find like new ones at Goodwill for $1. If you haven’t seen my belt sheath in progress, you can see it here: Shaker Sheath in Progress. And if you want to see the thead where we were originally talking about it and sharing leather making tips, see this thread: Leather Sheathmaking Question
