Making A Scout Style Leather Knife Sheath - Leather Craft

In this leather project video, I design & make a scout style leather knife sheath that can be used for right or left handed carry. The sheath is made from natural vegetable tanned leather and has been tooled and hand dyed with an antique sunburst finish. Contact cement and a strong saddle stitch help hold the sheath together. I hope you enjoy and are inspired to create your own scout style leather knife sheath.

When you brought out the yellow dye, I was screaming, "NO!" But, that is one of the best-looking color combinations I've ever seen! Beautiful sheath!

[@KingdomGloryLeather]

Thanks. I experimented with the color combo on some scraps first.

[@christopherblevins1968]

​@KingdomGloryLeather That was a good experiment. Write that combo down.

Thanks for showing a non-airbrush way to dye the leather. I don't have an airbrush so this technique will be a big help in upping my game. Thanks, be safe, keep making, and stay awesome.

From one expert leather crafter to another, nice work. It looks like your fold line may have opened up a bit perhaps? Exposing some of the cut leather? You've inspired me to film more projects, thanks.

[@raydendrakk7502]

great video and I just learn a new tips, using the tape to prevent streching when tooling

[@KingdomGloryLeather]

Thanks. Painters tape works best but can rip up the leather when you remove it.

[@maximilianescobar3564]

Great job beautiful but that is not for a dom. Like me.....wow congrats..

[@bourbonleatherworks]

The buck selkirk knife is my favourite in my collection. Been meaning to make a sheath for mine as well. Do not like the Kevlar sheath it comes with. Nice work!

[@KingdomGloryLeather]

Thanks. I never really used the sheath it came with. I bought the knife specifically to make my own custom sheath for it.

I believe that the Lord would have you working on the leather on the temple back in the Old Testament because he only had the best of the best and you are one of the best may the Lord bless you and your family.

Thanks. Hopefully in the age to come He will put me to work! 😀

Maybe after the rapture, he'll have you make beautiful leather. Saddles for the horses. We'll ridel back in chapter 19 of revelations. Pray for my family when the Lord bring us to your mind

I've been punching holes in thick leather, but I'm going to try drilling the holes. Maybe it will be easier on my hands and tools. Speak his name.

[@KingdomGloryLeather]

Drill press is the way to go for thick knife sheaths for sure.

[@robwagner7545]

Is the scrap leather under the sheath while drilling used to minimize blowouts, similar to woodworking? Or is it doing different work?

[@KingdomGloryLeather]

It is there to help keep the sheath parallel to the drill bit. The notch is cut out for the belt loop piece to fit into.
