How I make a standard leather sheath (Part two)

[@tripticker09]

Sandy, you seriously understate your level of craftsmanship. Your level of workmanship, the pride and care you put into your projects reflect a deep understanding of your craft. Watched both of your videos. Very well done!!!! The tutorials are exactly what one expects to find on the internet. Thank you for sharing your talents and technique with with world.

[@KennethKramm]

It's always nice to see you work, Sandy. Sort of like sitting next to you .... This video is yet another reminder of the work, care and craftsmanship of Jacklores. Thanks for sharing, Ken

[@ChrisTheCuriousDad]

I don’t need to go anywhere else to learn how to make a knife sheath. This is beautiful craftsmanship, you take great pride in your work. Thank you for sharing your skills with us.

[@louisemissouri4410]

Wow, beautiful knife. You could tell Elsa was getting tired after a while, when she stopped jumping up so high for her toy. What a fun way to give her the exercise she needs. LOL Does she bark at the vacuum too? lol What a girl. Thanks again, I really enjoyed the build of your sheath, yes it is a lot of work but gives you a bit of variety in your daily work too. I'm excited to see what your new knife will be with the bigger belly. ATB to you and yours, Louise :)

[@srhollifield0908]

Seriously beautiful work Sandy. The detailed explanations were very helpful in gaining insight into the work that goes into your craft. It's too bad more people in the US don't take up these types of crafts. It seems like nothing is handmade here anymore... Which is why I buy most of my leatherwork from the UK, where people still take pride in working with their hands. Good for you, Wiltshire Man!

[@reddave38]

You were right when you said you weren't making an instructional video. These two videos will be my template/guide for the knife sheaths I'll be making soon. Very nice work and very informative. You put a lot of nice touches that some wouldn't even appreciate.

[@kylebates3627]

Hah! the trials and tribulations of living with dogs, never a dull moment. Thanks for the rundown, it has definitely shown me that I should start up a template for my sheathes instead of winging it every time. Thanks Sandy.

[@bonniehyden962]

BEAUTIFUL knife! The Sheath is simple and yet adds to the beauty. VERY good job! And I think you make wonderful videos! Now I'm off to explore the rest of your channel and hopefully find out how to get one of those knives! Maybe see more of the pup? lol Thank you, sir, for sharing your craft. The video is as wonderfully done as your knives and sheaths.

[@robertclarke7274]

The leather work has really come Sandy, now you know there's no shortcuts in leatherwork.

[@craigmooring2091]

Thanks for that detailed 2 parter, Sandy. The sequencing will help me in my personal leatherwork.

[@Zedoutdoors]

I've been waiting eagerly for this second tutorial and it was well worth the wait, superb stuff as always Sandy and cant thank you enough for taking the time to share this ~Peace~

[@StokedShroomer]

I am just getting into leather as i am left handed and have to fabricate my own sheaths. These videos were incredibly helpful. Cheers mate.

[@mwam1985]

I know he wasn't trying to make a tutorial, but he taught me alot about making a sheath for my knife.

[@jamesgreen4522]

I can see why your sheaths look so fine. There is a lot of work and time involved. Everything you do is a work of art. It would be a shame to use one of your knives in the woods, but that is what they are made for. I hope to own one sometime.

[@neilyeag]

Really demonstrates the pride and craftsmanship you put into your work. Great video.

[@zenbooter]

Ok Jack, that was just about as ducky as it gets. Liked the brief stint w/Fido, I used to act this way when I was young as you. Now I'm old and still do.The short of it is how educated I am now. Keep my eyes on for more of this. Thank you.

[@torch68]

Wow.... the beauty of the sheath is matched by the exceptional knife it goes with. Great instructional video on how it's done.

[@rcsnow22]

Just finished watching part # 1 to this and i'm glad I did . I no doubt learned a few things . Fine looking Sheath and your Knives are beautiful . I really loved the one with the tapered tang & blue liners . That's some fine craftsmanship .

[@mikekielczewski3500]

Loved your dog chasing the squirrel it was awesome.

[@gs42816]

It's very enjoyable watching a true craftsman at work. You make it look so easy, which I know it's not. Great to see.

[@TheMendipman]

A really beautiful knife Sandy. Another one for us to lust after. Those scales are exquisite - lovely wood. Tell Elsa I'm very impressed by her slow motion jumping. How does she do that? Keep happy my friend, Noel

[@DeanO]

I truly enjoyed this two part video build. Beautiful knife and sheath

[@kinezo1961]

Wow , what incredible craftsmanship. I am in love with that knife and sheath.

[@christopherpoole3585]

That was just brilliant Jack, thank you so much. It's nice to know that there are still highly skilled people out there who can make things. Thanks again.

[@Sedge63]

You are getting quite proficient in the camera special effects too Sandy ! Another fine knife made for a very lucky person.

[@stevencoons450]

You got me....hook, line and sinker....Thank you.

[@IsleofWightBushcraft]

Fantastic craftsmanship. Do you have a website or price guide for your knives.

[@DZuehlsdorff]

If Steven doesn't like it, I know someone who does ! Beautiful, Beautiful knife and the sheath ain't half bad either :-). Keep up the wonderful work, I'm extremely jealous of Steven right now!

[@ronberlier6695]

Loved the video Sandy, well done. You are an exacting craftsman thanks for taking us along on the build.

[@kimbullock475]

Great second video Sandy...... Great dangler..... Awsome....Cheers.

[@chriskellas2902]

Beautiful work, thanks for sharing your process! you have helped to set the benchmark for my knife making skills!

[@pete.b4197]

That is aBeauty!!! So good made! 👌👍

[@Nicks_Pix]

So very pleasant watching a master craftsman at his work.

[@billynightmare]

You are very skilled, very nice work.

[@raymondbailey1970]

these sheath making videos are a pleasure to watch very informative master craftsman at work.

[@OutdoorReviewChannel]

Outstanding work yet again Sandy, a true craftsman. Atb, Steve

[@tadpoles10]

Thanks for sharing Sandy, the 'Hunter' looks to be a very useful tool & I'm sure Mary was as pleased as punch on it's arrival. atvb t ..

[@thomasbrooks8112]

Wow! you are very talented indeed. Even thou you didn't intend this be an instructional video it's still the best sheath making tutorial I've ever seen anywhere. You given me a lot more confidence to get mine going. I have several that I want to do. If I might ask, where do you buy your tools and what weight leather are you using? Beautiful knife too, by the way.

[@josephtousignant7318]

That (proposed name) "JackLore Hunter" in full height Convex grind should also be one hell of a Bushcraft/Woodcraft knive! (and be a pretty good "Food Prep" knife also if limited to carrying just one knife. ( Only a thinner .09 to .10 inch blade stock would better in for food prep) It's my favorite grind overall, because once you learn how is the easiest to keep the knife sharp. And usually just regular leather stroping will maintain it, sometimes with a high grit ncompound applied to the leather. There is a reason Bark River uses that gring for the majority of their offerings. One other feature on the knife shown here is you've maintained much more of the edge to be usuable. The small sharpening choil is ok too, as it helps us mere mortals to get a sharp edge all the way along it's length. Personally, I'm not real a fan of maybe 1/2 inch of blade in front of the handle not being aspart of the sharpened edge,... just my preference and usual choice to avoid knives with that design used. I suspect you will really like building more of these full height convexed knives in the future. BTW, that handle is not only beautiful because of the outstanding wood graining, but is also a winner because of the beefyness of the handle for a most secure grip and control of a hard use knife. Love the sheath too, by the way! 🙂

[@charliedurham1954]

Great video. Beautiful knife! Thanks for sharing.

[@junito1957]

DAM THAT A EPIC LOOKING KNIFE ! BETTER LOOKING THEN THE ONE THEY SELL ON LINE

[@mikekielczewski3500]

Loved the video, loved the grandfather clock ticking in the background. I had no idea all the specialized tools needed and the craftmanship. You are an artist and I love your work. I have a kabar becker bk2 is that a knife you can make a sheath for and if so how much and do you need my knife to make the sheath?

[@kenweaver2178]

Gorgeous work !!

[@revenant-knives]

That's the best tutorial on KZbin we'll done

[@olechuga2]

Mr. Jackloreknives. Excellent two-part tutorial on how to create a beautiful knife sheath. One question. And it is more of a "fashion" statement. Why do I see, whether for a complete knife or a folding knife, does only half of the knives' grip handle is left exposed? For me, it is much more difficult to grasp the knife out of its sheath, than if the full knife's grip was left exposed. Is there a more of a solid reason, that I can't comprehend for this?

[@Jackloreknives]

Simple answer is retention of the knife. This type of sheath relies of depth for retention otherwise your knife may fall out!

[@tomcoulis4611]

my good lore jack, pun intended,very meticulous fine fine work absolutely shows you get what you pay for and then some.don't seem like there is any more for you to learn,just when i think you are finished, you keep doing more,thank you so much for the teaching sir. Tom

[@troycummings5083]

Most excellent. Thanks for sharing. From across the Pond.

[@conornoz]

Great video, love the sheath build. you make it look so easy and i know its not. the desert ironwood is really beautiful.

[@howardvarley8795]

What an absolute work of beauty!! One day - if im lucky!!

[@lastgameplay]

That's a good looking knife!

[@Smedleymade]

Great videos and thank you for sharing your skills and technique, just watched both of them. I really want to have a go at leather work i best get saving for some tools.

[@keithbeasley5862]

You are truly a craftsman, I would love to have one of your knives and sheaths, are you able to ship to the US? If so, how much do you require for such a knife and sheath shown in this video. Many thanks, Keith, Florida, US

[@oshandmadeknives]

I love the convex sandy it looks amazing, try a hollow grind on the jacklore hunter and mirror polish the grind, I've just recently done a hollow grind and mirror polished the blade, I believe that the hollow grinds look great and cut extremely well and it's not that hard to do free hand I was surprised when I first did it. Take care Oliver Slocombe

[@TheRamblingsofBry]

Wow, so much work, but well worth all the effort, it looks fantastic.

[@WiltshireMan]

Hi Bry yes a lot of work goes into the making of a knife and a sheath but I am now a practiced hand and got it down to a fine art:)

[@LEAFCUT]

Excellent, really enjoyed watching both these clips...thankyou.

[@ajtaylor560]

[@thetopicala]

Sandy, great! That's a good looking sheath and the hunter knife too! Did you apply leather conditioner right after Neatsfoot oil treatment? Oh, I would love to have that press stud machine in my workshop. Hammer and anvil is my only chance at the moment... Thanks for showing, Osmo

[@WiltshireMan]

Hi Osmo, Yres I used Aussie leather conditioner after the neats foot. SOmetimes I use Snowproof . Sandy

[@GreybeardMakes]

Greetings, Sandy! Great vids as always. Wondering if you could tell me what size edge beveler/keener you were using? I see on Tandy Leather's website they offer them in a #1, #2, or #3 but there isn't alot of I formation about sizing. Thanks in advance!

[@Peacemaker29073]

Nicely done.

[@pillerclimb]
