If you are manufacturing knives with your own hands, then the sheath for them can also be done independently. And the skin is perfect for this purpose. And in this case, the master took thick skin as a basis.
The first step is to cut 2 pieces of leather in the shape of a knife. First, one piece is cut, sized to fit and used as a template.
It is also necessary to cut two strips of leather, which the master glues along the edges of one of the halves of the future sheath. The result should be small sides. From above it will be necessary to glue the second half of the scabbard.
The main stages of work
After that, the master cuts out another small piece of thick leather, and makes a slot in it for the belt. Then this piece will need to be glued to the sheath.
The master makes holes along the contour of the sheath, and begins to stitch the edges. To make the holes in one line, marking is first done.
The holes themselves can be made a punch for the skin or drilled with a nail. The author sews in two needles. This is the most popular technique for professionals and beginners.
