Can't beat a simple pouch sheath! 🙌

[@Simplelittlelife]

I like them too. I really admire those who can do more elaborate work but I just don’t think I have the patience. 😆

[@sudo_nym]

I agree. Though I wouldn't leave the knife in there until the sheath has dried out. Great job, Jeremy!

[@Afeller]

@@Simplelittlelifetwisted oak comes to mind- beautiful work. Seems like he could just be a full time leatherworker at this point.

[@kindredspiritzz66]

That looks easy enough. I'm starting the process of learning how to make sheaths for the knives I make so I'm glad it doesn't seem to hard or costly.

[@eammendola]

Love it! Old world craftsmanship has been all but forgotten. I've been thinking about learning some leather craft and this just makes me want to even more. Thanks!

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you so much! I find it very relaxing doing leather work. I highly recommend giving it a try. Cheers 👍

[@kindredspiritzz66]

Hobbies give you purpose and keep your mind sharp.

[@davedeatherage4902]

Thanks, excellent work you do sir, I plan to make some knife sheaths . I'm a novice at leather working.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thanks so much! I hope my video helps you out with your first sheath. 👍

[@robertgolden1080]

Great sheath. Fantastic video.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you!

[@johnthacker5171]

Beautiful knife

[@dougbridgeman1024]

Good jab man, just found your channel. Looking forward to watching more of your stuff cheers from Calgary

[@Simplelittlelife]

Oh sweet thank you so much! I live just outside of Strathmore and was born and raised in Calgary👍

[@Stillpoint23]

You've hit one of the true jackpots here in Tubelandia 👍

[@dougbridgeman1024]

Thanks for the comment, i'm digging in🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍

[@Simplelittlelife]

You’re too kind 🙏👍

[@BurnsBlades]

Turned out great! I made the switch not too long ago to using leather lacing needles to stitch. They are a bit thinner, but are flexible. Makes the saddle stitch a little bit easier when dealing with smaller holes.

[@heyimamaker]

That is the kind of sheath i'd like to make some day!

[@kevinsmith9190]

Absolutely love this. Great work. Man you have inspired me.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you! That is great to hear. I appreciate it 👍

[@ScottRauber]

Perfect!! Thank you!!

[@SLINGSHOT33]

Hi I am French, I started fair2mes leather cases thanks to videos like yours. after all it's not that complicated. THANKS. sorry my english is not great.

[@KnightsArmory]

Man that was great. Very cool brother.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you so much! 🙏👍

[@abinadiflores866]

Beautiful work. I'm interested in learning how to do this, do you have a tutorial where you go step by step?

[@Jimmy-iz2rx]

The sheath goes well with the knife. Nice job on both.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thanks so much! 👍

[@artawhirler]

Good video! Thanks!

[@riccardoquagnano]

awesome job

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you!

[@weshopper9738]

Great video! Love the music

[@patrickvilda9929]

Very nice work 👍

[@Citizen_0_5]

It looks like this was done almost completely by hand? No machines? That's freaking amazing!

[@weswerblades6497]

Fantastic!

[@mitchellmilliner2000]

That was Amazing to Watch I love how Beautiful the finished item was like a blackish red leather color very beautiful Craftsman-- --Ship. I will try to make one of my own the needle and thread trick was really interesting too loved the video very much hope to see more soon I like your channel.🥷🏻❤️🔥❤️🥷🏻

[@PedroFelipeOliveira23]

Awesome!

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you!

[@jwspock1690]

Nice - Simple Little Sheet. ;-)

[@Simplelittlelife]

Hahahaha! Thank you!

[@kamaeq]

Thanks, quick and simple overview. I just need the detail about forming it to the hilt since my son has one he is carving the hilt for and I'm going to have to help him build the sheath.

[@dmg4415]

Nice!!!

[@bocheef]

I know this is a old video but what color is that leather dye ? It really makes that leather pop I love it ! keep up the great work and content mate. Love it all the way from AUSTRALIA

[@tonymaestry5671]

Wow! 😍

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thanks!

[@chriswatters4159]

My biggest concern was the sewing, thank you for such an awesome video .

[@mrz6462]

Nice video showing the process to make the sheath, what would be nice is a video showing how to make a template with details on allowance for clearance, sticking etc......NOBODY does that on youtube.

[@bluesalamander8351]

love this ! where do you source your leather please thank you.

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you! I get it from Tandy. I think there are cheaper places locally to get it from but I haven’t done a whole lot of research to find them out. Cheers 👍

[@greasemnky27]

I like it a lot

[@stevet5238]

good video

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you!

[@adrianhernandez974]

Lindo video, saludos desde Ecatepec, México 🇲🇽

[@trainwon5699]

Good timing buddy just got the leather and tools to do the same style.....thanks

[@THEAngryProjects]

Incredible video as always but I get ask why don't dye before gluing?

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you! I just prefer it. I tell myself the glue holds better to raw leather than dyed leather but that probably isn’t very important. I’ve tried dying before glue and I just prefer this way better. 👍

[@flipflat4814]

What knife is that, it's beautiful 👍

[@Bordashblades]

What weight is the leather? It doesn't look like you wet form the leather around the knife, do you find you don't need to do this? Do the vises leave marks in the leather? When you punch using the pricking iron, does it completely penetrate the other side or do you have to use an awl to get a full through hole? Sorry for all the questions, I'm trying to perfect my leather sheath making.

[@kanzkam]

wow! i defenately want to make thisnin the future! can i get song though?

[@bockskarr6626]

Amazing job. I thought we were just going simple fold stitch type of dealio😅😅😅

[@t.hargrove3843]

Another enjoyable video, and I really like the music you chose for it 👍. The tool you use for making the stitching holes is interesting, never realized that's how it's done. Where did you get it from?

[@chucknelson1485]

I believe you can get the same or similar punch from Tandy Leather.

[@thatdad7914]

What brand of stitching chisels are those? I like the long teeth. the ones I have are too short!

[@stevesyncox9893]

How do you prevent the inner “patch” from getting hooked by the tip of the knife? Is it not better to edge after stitch line?

[@SugarMapleForge]

What ounce lether are you using? I have been using 8/9 oz and cant punch through three layers. Makes it hard to line it all up

[@scottstephenson9597]

What tune were you playing in the background and by who?

[@72Stiles]

Always wondered how they sew through leather

[@denji_knife9794]

The hardest thing to achieve are based of simplicity

[@RibeyeReaper]

Whats a ballpark cost to get all the tools to do something like this?

[@congamike1]

I have made 2 now. Both have problems with the welt. The blade slips past and eventually cuts the thread. Help?

[@johnnieivey6692]

could you have it taper so the handle fits tight and the blade can't make it to the bottom

[@RB-xc9vh]

What a beautiful piece! Simply stunning and prefectly exectuted as far as I can tell with my little knowledge. Do you have some experience with wet-forming such sheaths as well? Thanks for this video :)

[@Simplelittlelife]

Thank you so much, I appreciate that. I have tried wet forming once but the sheath I did it on was an early sheath. Functionally it worked great but aesthetically it didn’t look so hot. Thanks for the reminder, I should give it another go. Cheers 👍

[@RB-xc9vh]

@@Simplelittlelife No, thank you. I had the same sort of results so far and was hoping to learn from you in this field as well as I did in so many other areas already. Please keep doing what you seem to love and where possible also please keep bringinging us these awesome videos and beautiful pieces of craftsmanship. Have a good one :)

I get mine from Tandy.

@@Simplelittlelife Thanks!

What is the tool from 3:10 to 3:15 called??????

[@Jor-j1r]

Nice video only pitty that you dont show how to make the template. Love

How to videos are good. "Look at me! Look what I can do!" videos are bad.

[@Simplelittlelife]

People who feel the need to foist their opinions on others are pathetic. Go away. I don’t want to hear from you again.
