A few questions: why do you use that T word stuff for burnishing? (No idea what you said there) Why do you can on the leather dye? I've not seen that method before Why do you hammer the leather on your driveway?

I'm 62 years old and kind of a red neck. I've always made sheathes out of old boots or whatever I could find and lashed them together with leather boot strings. So, using your video, I learned how to saddle stitch! What a gift you gave me! Thank you, brother!

Your leather crafting needs improvement. The sloppiest job I have witnessed. I hope you make knives better then you do the sheath

No edge coating?

What kind of edge coating would one use? I don't do much leather, in fact I'm horrible at it. What does edge coating do?

Nice video. Which model Ulticlip did you use for that one?
@behnkeforge6 ай бұрын
Thanks! Those are the slim 3.3 versions. They come with screws, but I like the look of the bronze so I buy them separate

Hey Matt, do you have a source for your handle hardware? I’ve been trying to find something similar as I have an upcoming build that requires removable handle scales. Thank you. Great work and beautiful result!
@behnkeforge6 ай бұрын
Sorry for the delay! I get the hardware from McMaster Carr. I can’t remember what size they are, but you gotta get the torx screws and the standoffs to go with them. I would advise getting a smaller diameter screw than you think you need. Those are probably around 1/8” if I had to guess

That sheath is as good looking as the most expensive ones. You are a master leather craftsman. Great job. I wish l had one like that for my knife. Quality. You should start selling them. You would make some good money, even if it were a side project. I would certainly buy about 3. God has blessed you. Greetings from West Texas. Out here a man needs constant companions like a rifle and a good knife.

This looks like the first sheath I ever attempted making. I can't believe you sell these! Sorry just being honest, but it dosent look like you have attention to detail and looks like you cut small corners. Just some constructive criticism
@RandyCooper857 ай бұрын
Yea I agree. Doesn't look finished. Although I'm picky. I rejected my first 2 sheaths I made. Still have them as a reminder.
@escapetherace19436 ай бұрын
@@RandyCooper85 I've done hundreds now and while I keep getting better, the gains are smaller than they were when I started. This too looks a lot like my first 2 or 3 pieces. My last piece looked like it was machine cut and I still do everything by hand. I'd use that sheath but only for myself, not as a product I would sell. What's sad is he did a lot of things right but cut corners all over that edge work.

You’re an expert at your craft and its amazing to watch such a tedious craft being performed. Also my favorite thing about your sheaths are the way you texture them on the pavement, such a small detail but adds a ton of character. Love it.

Thanks Nick! I made the disc myself. All it is is a 1 HP motor (overkill) with a vfd. The actual disc you can get from Tru Grit for $90 I believe, and that slides onto the motor spindle. I can shoot you the exact specs of what I got if you want too
