Nice to see you back Jo, hope you are fully refreshed after your little break. Hope Skylar is well and coping with the heat! Also going to rant, I wish YT would sort out community tabs for tablets I always forget to check them on phones 😂

Hey, JH, i found a Barnsley site, here in states. Actually, its probably direct from England.. anyway, ive ordered 1 of their head knives, and a 4- pak of assorted knives.. you seem to like their blades. Gonna give them a try.. Thanks

[@yellowinsidemusic]

Hello !! Je suis littéralement FAN de ton travail. C’est esthétiquement parfait et c’est un plaisir immense de te voir travailler le cuir. Ça m’encourage à continuer à pratiquer !!

[@JHLeather]

Thank you ☺️

[@lx_anda]

I think that's my sunday planned out then.. getting my a into g and making proper sheaths for my head knives!

[@JHLeather]

It's a great weekend project 👍

Very good.

Thank you 😊

[@ceilingunlimited5073]

Great video! So wish Dennis was still making saddler’s knives. I really could use another one!

[@JHLeather]

It is a shame, but the Barnsley ones are very good 👍

[@d.s.5279]

@@JHLeather Hi Jo, with the Barnsley knives do you find you have to do a lot of prep work to get them sharp in the first instance, or is it just a matter of maintaining. I want to purchase one but I am not great at sharpening and don't wanna wreck one 😉

[@JHLeather]

So with the ones I got about 4/5 years ago, then they did need a bit of work to get right. I have a video on knife sharpening.....kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJyoiYhjh76loMk

[@ceilingunlimited5073]

@@JHLeather I’ve been looking at the Barnsley’s from Abbey England. It looks to have quite a bit larger blade than the one Dennis made for me. If I do end up buying a Barnsley,I’ll definitely have to cut the handle to make it shorter. Dennis made my handle according to my hand measurements,as I have really small hands with short,fat stubby fingers Lol

[@d.s.5279]

@@ceilingunlimited5073 it might be worth contacting Barnsley directly, they make the handles you never know they might offer a service.

[@Terry-n1i]

Great sheath!! Always enjoy watching you stitch!! Im still practicing!! Lol. Im ordering some knives from , Barnsley, like i said in other comment. Question, what other tools would you recommend from them?? Seems shipping is better, more i purchase.. lol. I know im needing a great sewing awl, like you use in your sewing.. what size do you use?? What do you advise-- diamond? Flat? Pointed?? Thanks, Jh!!

[@Wheres_Waldos_EDC]

Great simple and understandable instructions! Excellent work!

[@JHLeather]

Thank you 🙂

[@ferret452]

Hi Jo after watching your other tutorials and learning how to stich I have made myself a Knife sheaf and sheaths for half round and round head Knives Great Tip for the welt I actually went to the trouble of cutting the shape which needs quite a large peace of leather. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us

[@JHLeather]

Great to hear that you found the video helpful 👍

[@markwatts7634]

Wow, Jo, you blew my mind with that Welt. I just traced the shape of my Head knife sheaths when I made them, and simply offset the inside measurement with dividers. I am so going to use this trick in the future. Perhaps I should make one for my Doldokki quarter round knife, and use this technique.

[@JHLeather]

It's ideal as it stops your blades cutting the threads 👍

[@Tammy-un3ql]

Thank you for sharing.

[@JHLeather]

No problem 👍

[@alandrewgibson]

Nice work Jo!

[@luzomuluzomu2383]

That looks so nice! Planning to do one now!

[@JHLeather]

👍 They are a great weekend project to complete

[@luzomuluzomu2383]

@@JHLeather I agree! And I also really need a cover, my knife still doesn't have one but is pretty sharp

[@JHLeather]

I have had this knife for more than 4 years and I have only just got around to making one for it 😂

[@luzomuluzomu2383]

@@JHLeather I believe it's still better than never XD And at least it looks very good!

[@DruEllz]

I'm halfway through designing and making the first of four different shaped covers for my knives. I didn't think to make the welt out of a strip and, instead, actually cut it to shape, which was a bit fiddly. I'll try your method on the next one to compare the finish.

[@JHLeather]

The thin strip works really well, it can get a bit fiddly on really tight curves

[@geantelles8980]

Além de trabalhar muito bem, é linda demais parabéns 👏👏👏

[@juliangonzales2916]

Excelente trabajo Saludos

[@JHLeather]

Thank you 🙂

[@saintzeno]

Hi, thank you for great video. 9:17 How did you stitch that thick leather? It seems like you're just marking stitch holes, not driving chisel all the way through the leather.

[@JHLeather]

I use my stitching awl to create the holes all the way through the leathe 👍

[@nadeemb933]

That was cool

[@gabrielchartrand5641]

Nice

[@JHLeather]

Thank you 🙂

[@xephadoo]

Is there any worry over the popper/snap back (the part that is inside the sheather) catching on the blade and nicking/dulling it?

[@JHLeather]

I've not had an issue with that, but if you are worried, you could glue on a thin piece of leather to cover it

[@hosseinhayati9820]

Thank you for sharing :) What kind of glue do you use? Is there a brand or link you can share?

[@JHLeather]

I am currently using ecostick 1816 👍

[@DH-ds5mg]

To heat the creaser is that just a common hot plate?

[@JHLeather]

Yeah it's just a cheapy portable hob I got from eBay years ago 👍

[@thomasclagett2690]

Might I ask what grit sandpaper you use on the edges?

[@JHLeather]

Usually 120-180 grit, sometimes much finer depending on what I am making 👍

[@brvkinvale]

Please tell me the site where I can buy this knife and how to find it

[@JHLeather]

My specific one was custom made but he is no longer making them, you can get a similar one from George Barnsley and Sons

[@drahcir4097]

😁

[@mechminded2207]

Where do you get your hardware from - really struggling to find someone in the UK.

[@JHLeather]

I use Abbey England for most my fittings but these poppers got from LePrevo 👍

[@mechminded2207]

@@JHLeather order in with Le Prevo, their website reminds me of the 90s! Abbey is infuriating as many things are out of stock.

[@JHLeather]

😂 yeah it's a bit of an old website

[@d.s.5279]

Le Prevo isn't a company I have heard of and I assumed they were going to be on the continent 😅 I agree with the website though, reminded me of some of the very first websites I coded.

[@JHLeather]

They are quite handy for the odd bits and pieces 👍
