I fimished a sheath for the SS4 (BRING ON THE MUD) tonight. It's been living in Kydex for a year now. The DFLE sheath I did about 6 months ago. I jacked up the stich line on the DFLE sheath by not having a proper backing when using the drill press and then by drilling back to front, DOH. I'm learning. The more I learn working with leather, the less I like working with Kydex. Leather is so much more challenging but much more fun.

Very cool man. Thanks for posting!

Nice sheath

Good deal!

sweet! it always feels good to make your own stuff. I'll be attempting my first leather sheath soon.

It does man. I don't get to create much at work and I have never been good at mechanical things (although I have been known to lift Jeeps). Function over form seems to be my doom, but function is good.

This was my first leather sheath but I restitched it (incorrectly and not using a proper stich). BrianA, not sure if he still frequents The Yard, mentioned I should learn the saddle stich. It was excellent advice. I read about it, but I had to do it and jack things up in order to understand it. Now if I could only become one with the drill press.

That's a huge improvement from your first one. With practice and learning from your mistakes, you can only keep getting better.

Good deal, Jeeper! It's cool to see everyone's skill in action.

Nice work! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Nice work <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> I like leather alot and many knives looks better in leather than kydex. A DFLE in leather is really nice <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Looking good Ron - well done! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
