All that matters is fit and function. How you get there does not matter. Aesthetics are all preference. Great looking set Tony👍

Great video to address the how long does it take business. People who know can see right thru that crap. Thanks again for your time good sir.

[@TonySeverioKnives]

You’re welcome my friend, thanks!

Very cool. Try using Resolene to set your dye color after dyeing. Simple to use, instructions on the side of the bottle. Its an acrylic coat for leather after you dye it, then, use your wax afterwards. Burnishing the sides of your sheath will give you that nice, deep color after you dye it. Use a hardwood burnishing tool, (or as I do), make your own out of a hardwood spoon. Just make your grooves in the handle. It will 'slick' your edges, and make them rounder. Nice job!

[@TonySeverioKnives]

I have used Resolene. Works great. There’s a bottle up in my cabinet. I use a wooden shaft on my lathe to burnish. It’s fast and looks pretty fair.

@@TonySeverioKnives Very nice! I was sure you heard of it.

Weldwood contact cement is what I use never had any problems with it very nice sheath 😊

[@TonySeverioKnives]

Thank you!

Very nice Mr Tony! I agree with others, end result is what matters. I’ve made a few and I still learned something. I’ve used a skive to bevel the thickness but the belt grinder is genius!! I will be using that on my next build. Thanks

[@TonySeverioKnives]

Thank you! Yes I cheat a little with the belt grinder. 😁😁

[@waynestevenson9613]

Nice work Tony!

[@TonySeverioKnives]

Thank you!

[@TheKinchaos]

i'd use a small bit to drill in the leather

[@TonySeverioKnives]

I use a 5/64 for sinew. If it were thread, I would go very small. The sinew is much thicker. 🙂

[@richardbranton190]

You big dummy 😂😂😭👍 great looking sheath

[@TonySeverioKnives]

😂😂. Thanks brother! 🙂

[@DONJUILIO]

That table you're cutting on has seen some shit I bet. Very cool video, not something I'm doing but very interesting. If you achieve what you're attempting it's a success in my opinion. There's probably 40 ways to skin a cat, but let's not think about which one is correct. Thank you for your time sir....

[@TonySeverioKnives]

Yes it has seen many shoulders of leather lol. Thank you for the kind words and thanks for watching. 🙂
