DIY knife sheath

[@bengtal]

WOW ! solid, simple, beautiful, thank you !!! I was leaning into something more crude for my first attempt. this is super informative, without any BS. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@DarthNehimis]

That looks absolutely amazing, I will definitely be taking some references this summer when I try leathercraft.

[@HABU]

Thanks bud!

[@MRLomax-gc1fe]

No Welt??? Details matter. All that work and left out an important part. Beautiful product. until the knife cuts the stitching in the toe.

[@dixie2308]

Great work on the sheath, looks fantastic 👍 keep the vids coming

[@HABU]

Thank you!

[@bitingchef4329]

I am in the processn of making a sheath right now. I said.... hmmm.... what would HABU do.... so... now I am doing as you do. Thanks for the instructive video. Beautiful work!

[@HABU]

+BitingChef Thanks man, much appreciated!

[@bigpete4227]

That is sweet. For a knife project, do you think you could make the blade from a file, the handle from pallet wood, the pins from bolts, and the sheath from a used handbag, utilising some of the clasps from the bag? That would be cool to see.

[@HABU]

+Big Pete Maybe... ;-)

[@bigpete4227]

Go on, do it.

[@HABU]

+Big Pete ;-)

[@AlejandroRuizDiazM]

Beautiful work.

[@richardroberts4813]

When your brain talks to your hands...art happens. Pleasure to watch.

[@erjcole6268]

[@HABU]

[@lutzheimhalt1692]

[@HABU]

+Lutz Heimhalt Dankeschön!

[@Kctubes]

Why put it in water? Leather rots in water right??

[@HABU]

That the leather is softer.

[@Maxii969]

wow. das ist krass was du so machst. ich seh andere videos wo die leute versuchen minderwertigen stahl zu härten bis ich deine videos gefunden habe. jetz will ich das auch mal ausprobieren :D

[@HABU]

[@Sumkindamon]

[@Sumkindamon]

Hassan Abu-Izmero so it is just hobby!? Wow! I do think that your things will be a good sellers, some guys like myself for example;) will might buy someof that cool stuff made by you.

[@HABU]

+Sumkindamon ZVA Sure, maybe... But till now I want to keep them. ;-)

[@johnnyr701]

Yep I ll just run out and buy all this stuff to make a sheath, cheaper to buy the sheath…lol

[@maxwelldesigns3140]

Ich muss jetzt eine Pause machen! Essen.

[@HABU]

Dann mal guten Appo!

[@epicbosscow5258]

Are you sure everyone can diy

[@HABU]

+EPIC BOSS COW yes

[@epicbosscow5258]

Hassan Abu-Izmero ok

[@Freeman1776]

Hassan, why do you show us the chemicals for a split second and don't let us see what it says??? If you didn't make this sheath so fast without any narration, your video would be great, but being in a hurry because you know how to make doesn't help people to learn. FAIL!

[@georgefc9168]

So it's not boring for people who want to just see the process... pause the video? (Press the 'k' button for ease)

[@warren1953]

No welt?

[@ramyemadeldin2846]

amazing ...if you add a list of the used products and tools this would be very helpful...thanks man

[@MountainFisher]

When I don't put a welt on my sheaths, like for filet knives because fishermen tend to prefer their sheaths to be slim. I put five solid brass rivets along the side and a matching solid brass snap fastener. But I never send a knife with a sheath and no protection for my threads as that is a failure waiting to happen if the knife gets used much.

[@beauxtx1959]

Great! You're like me. You like to try a little bit of everything! Well done!

[@HABU]

;) Thanks bud!

[@TheMotownPhilly]

Why no welt?. I was always told that a welt is necessary to avoid cutting the stitching... I mean your sheath looks great but I don't think it's going to hold up.

[@danhusker1413]

Awesome! I am looking forward to making my own. Thanks for a good job.

[@jericcapule8509]

awesome mate its just like a piece of art outstanding knife creation and the sheath is superb....

[@HABU]

Thanks bud! ;-)

[@micwitten2202]

Hassan Abu-Izmero schöne Scheide ,aber wo ist der Keder? Nach und nach wirst du so die Naht auftrennen...

[@HABU]

+Mic Witten Den habe ich vergessen, jedoch kommt das Messer durch die Scheidenform nicht bis an die Naht... Mal schauen wie lange es hält. Das Messer ist seitdem in täglichem Gebrauch...

[@pauldepter6031]

thnx sir, good job, i am gonna try to make one too☼

[@TJSWOODWORKINGSHOP]

Nice and beautiful my friend, The leather how thick is it bro,and the case it's very nicely made sir i like it :)

[@HABU]

Thanks bud! The leather is about 3mm thick...

[@TJSWOODWORKINGSHOP]

Ok nice man thank you bro :)

[@alhernandez7260]

Guys, make your own , and put a damn welt on it if you want!!!! Beautiful sheath. .......I always put a welt though! Lol

[@TheUnkus]

Do you do commission work? I have a custom bird/fish knife that had a leather sheath, that my dogs thought was a rawhide. I'd really like another sheath for it.

[@Arch1301]

i have nothing to say. No paper no calculating… how many hundreds you already makes of it!? Subscribed.

[@Pahka463]

👍👍👍

[@rustik8485]

Всё очень хорошо, но нет конкретно ничего, по размерам, как и зюся чего ты делаешь? Я просто учусь, но сорри ничего не понятно

[@joshuac734]

3:18 Indian currency 10 rupees. 😉👍🏻. Great job with the sheath. Love your work always.

[@HABU]

[@aa-qn1lb]

[@bigronxxxx]

[@HABU]

Thanks too bro!

[@jacquesfournier329]

Un très beaux couteaux en plus travail sérieux

[@timjohle8876]

I didn’t see a welt in the sheath.

[@wambolt1212]

how did this hold up without the welt?

[@ozguryldrm4779]

what is the this knife model?

[@rishishenoy]

3:18 10 rupee coin from India (Y)

[@HABU]

+rishishenoy Correct, I got it from a friend who lives in India...

[@JeffsTrades]

I love how without all of the equipment, you built a sheath with a box cutter and an ice pick....

[@HABU]

+Jeff Sokol Thanks Jeff! ;-)

[@seyedebrahimhashemi]

تبارک الله

[@miguelbustos8354]

What kind of a knife is that?

[@dculjak9051]

Hi Hassan, great work like always. Please give me a tip, I am interested for cutting board (green one) where to buy and what is mid price. All I watch is too expensive. For your information I am from Croatia, so I am force to bay on the net. One thing more, please let me know which brand You use for coloring leather and do You use same purpose color for edge coloring. Thanks a lot

[@johnjude2685]

Just getting back into leather work and gathering tools as I'm making most and as a BlackSmith Hobbyist they're built by myself and better than most on the market. Thanks for helping

[@kennethrutledge9222]

Dude!! Nice job !! I would like to see one made with some leather stamping , I bet it would be beautiful!!

[@PPD1911]

Why do you want a sheath that covers so much of the handle doesn’t that make it difficult to pull the knife out.

[@proximaducentaure9506]

Great !

[@billyblake4291]

Amazing! Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

[@RobinLewisMakes]

Great video mate, really enjoyed this one. What's the purpose of hammering the seam after it's been sewed?

[@HABU]

Thanks bud! I made this to flatten out the stitches...

[@KellySmith-gt5pi]

I love your work and instruction...thank you so much!

[@bekells8727]

nice sheath but I personally like to add a welt

[@kylemcdonald5261]

What is that pin your using to make the leather?

[@SpadeCaller]

Very well done. Could you please list chemicals that you used?

[@yliyahhawkins9928]

....without a doubt....brother...that is the best sheath making tutorial hands down!!!!!....Great job on the video, and for sure.....a beautiful sheath! THANKYOU!!!!!!!!! Gunny, USMC 2nd Force Recon MEU. Ret.

[@HABU]

+Yliyah Hawkins Thanks bro! Mich appreciated...! ;-)

[@fernandojosebentobarata8034]

Excelente trabalho grande abraço daqui de Portugal

[@Stonecraft_Leather]

You make it look so easy. Great work.

[@TheInvisibleOne1026]

Where can I purchase the leather piece?

[@madpenguin9402]

annoying taping videio did myh head in

[@PrimitiveFusion]

Very good! I like the no welt version here. You don't always need one.

[@HABU]

Thank you

[@joesanders6898]

I noticed you didn't put a welt in the sheath. Did you men to skip that part?

[@joesanders6898]

It's an extra piece of leather between the front and back, along the stitch line. It helps to protect the stitching from the blade edge while putting it into and removing it from the sheath.

[@MountainFisher]

@@joesanders6898 I know right? I use rivets if I'm not using a welt, but I still sew it. See my other comment as I explain that I only do that with the filet knives I make.

[@myounis1991]

Great work, nicely finished.. Looking forward for more

[@larrywhite6637]

Looks great. Without a welt you have a chance, more like a likelihood of cutting the stitches. That happened to me at a rendezvous once.

[@HABU]

Thank you

[@Cynocehali]

Is that a Condor?

[@morganhughes3601]

I'm using a similar awl but I cant keep my stitches straight. Any ideas? Also great video!!

[@HABU]

+Morgan Hughes Just practice practice practice.... Thank you!

[@hanslain9729]

What is the spacing on your prong punch? mm?

[@HABU]

+Hans Lain yes

[@dusanpavlovic2201]

how did you soften leather what did you use there and can any leather be used for this?

[@YourUpstairsNeighbor]

Vegetable tanned is best

[@fritz3548]

Was war das für ein Kleber, den du zum kleben vom Leder benutzt hast ? Super Ding geworden überings !

[@HABU]

+Fritz H. Dankeschön! Das war einfacher Uhu Alleskleber...

[@fritz3548]

Ahaa, danke für die Antwort, schönen Abend noch !

[@i2aspire]

what kind of marker is that

[@HABU]

I'm making all kinds of stuff on youtube... Mainly I'm a metal worker...

[@digital_harry]

Eddings brand , but i guess this video is from what once was known as Europe. in the US there are long nosed mechanical pencils sold by woodcraft and made in germany for about 12 or 15 bucks, and home despot also sell a knock off for about 5 pesos , i dont remember the brand but they are of brigth green color, look for them in the section where they keep the lumber crayons.

[@maxwelldesigns3140]

Super gutes Video! Und ein wunderschönes Gesamtkunstwerk. Ich hoffe du wirst es bèhalten!

[@HABU]

Dankeschön! Ja werde ich ;)

[@raygetoutdoors6151]

did you put a welt in your sheath? Maybe i missed it. Looks nice.

[@HABU]

Thanks! Nope, I did it without...

[@ylknifes2336]

hey mate what leather are you using? greetings from germany

[@HABU]

+YL Das war Sattelleder... ;-)

[@donnissel4397]

[@HABU]

+Don Nissel Thank you!

[@Mo_G]

[@agis7172]

Awesome man

[@HABU]

+Agis Qose Thank you

[@harrynewell912]

So many skills and talents!

[@HABU]

Thank you man!

[@luisermert]

I´m so bad with leather xD

[@HABU]

+LE-Handmade knives Everybody can learn this!

[@bushcraftbeats4556]

That's some nice leather, real tight grain. What weight was it, and what tannery process did it go through, like what kind of leather is it? Thanks!

[@HABU]

+Bushcraft Beats Thanks man! I just can tell you that's saddle leather from a cow...

[@digital_harry]

For the finish and greyish color inside the fibers (hard to tell in the video), it should be chrome tan leather, it is not the best option if you want to wet shape, apply colors, or hand stamp. It is better to use vegetable tan leather, i assume Habu doesn't knows the difference or he is working on a tight budget and works with what he can find. I dont want to discredit what for sure its a hard and good work, but the leatherwork has room for improvements, there is no welt, the sewing technique, the chosen leather, anyway, he is for sure multi talented and not afraid of experimenting, thats is a big advantage in the learning process. The end result looks very good.

[@HABU]

+Harry Thanks Harry! Really appreciate your words! ;-)

[@digital_harry]

Hassan Abu-Izmero you know i have access to the best italian leather, all kinds of fancy tools, but i still have to make something beatiful like you have done, i keep traveling, but send a messsge if you plan to go to Vietnam, here i deal with many different factories, some of them generate many kilos of short pieces of leather, after making products for several brands i cannot mention. Maybe an oportunity to get material.

[@HABU]

+Harry Great! Just send me an email, so we can stay in contact... [e-mail]

[@TinkertubesLab]

Super Ergebnis, gefällt mir sehr gut :) Hast du dafür als Material einfach dickes Echtleder genommen, oder irgend etwas spezielles, das das nach dem Wässern seine Form behält? Und welchen Klebstoff verwendest du?

[@HABU]

Dankeschön! Ja ich habe Rinder Sattelleder benutzt und es mit Uhu Kraft verklebt... ;)

[@TinkertubesLab]

+Hassan Abu-Izmero (HABU) Meinst du, ich könnte mit 2mm dickem Rindsleder hinkommen? Ich hab hier wunderschönes, dunkelbraun glänzendes Leder von einem leider verstorbenen Bekannten, der Gerber war. In deinem Video sieht das Zeug bedeutend dicker aus als 2mm, eher wie 4 bis 5?

[@HABU]

+Tinkertubes Lab Natürlich, das haut bestimmt hin! Mein Leder hat eine Dicke von 3mm...

[@TinkertubesLab]

+Hassan Abu-Izmero (HABU) Wunderbar, dann werd ich das sicher demnächst ausprobieren! Danke!

[@HABU]

+Tinkertubes Lab Gerne! Viel Erfolg...
