Wet forming a leather sheath

[@davidgrise5820]

I enjoyed your video, very informative and to the point. I've now subscribed/liked the video.

[@alchemykitchen777]

I reccomend oiling the blade as well before putting the cling wrap, depending on weather can take longer for the leather to dry and result in some unwanted patina

This was super easy compared to other information out there! Thank you so much! New Subscriber!

Great video, nice and simple to watch and follow and good length of vid, I’ve never heard of wet forming leather sheaths before but now I know how I’ll give my bushcraft knife a go, cheers mate, from James in England 👍🏻

[@outofeden_bushcraft3142]

Cheers brother 🙏🏻

[@carlitos.593]

Thanks man!!! I had a brand new knife and leather sheath but it was a little loose. I applied this technique and it worked just perfect 👌, thanks a lot

[@outofeden_bushcraft3142]

Hey Brother you are very welcome . I'm glad it worked for you . Thanms for Watching and commenting ✌

[@Pablito46]

Thanks for the tips! This worked great on my sheath!

I'm wet forming a sheath right now. I watched this video yesterday. After I set it out to dry, I wondered, what would happen if you used starch like they use for pressing or ironing shirts. Maybe spraying starch inside the sheath after soaking the sheath and then form it might make it form better. Just a thought. What do you think about it?

[@outofeden_bushcraft3142]

Not sure . I know some rub bees wax into it while it's still wet and it firm's it up

[@David-kg1hc]

If I knew how to do this I don't think I would have ever went to kydex.

[@stonedape3285]

Kydex still has some benefits. I prefer leather cause it looks good, it feels good and they last for years if taken care of

Extremely informative, thanks.

Thanks for the tips. Got one I really need to reform now.

[@outofeden_bushcraft3142]

BluegrassBushcraft Hey my pleasure brother let me know how it turns out . Good to hear from you !

[@supernoobsmith5718]

Appreciated. I had written off leather sheaths, but now....

[@outofeden_bushcraft3142]

Awesome man . I hope it works out for you . With that said , kydex is hard to beat 👍

[@Swingblade-_-]

You can also pop it in the oven on a low temperature and it will make it hard as a rock

[@DanteAZ72]

Yes, that does help. Thank you very much. I have a lot of experience making kydex holsters using a foam press. Would that help mold the shape?

[@outofeden_bushcraft3142]

Not sure about that brother as I know nothing about kydex forming .

[@DanteAZ72]

@@outofeden_bushcraft3142 I'll let you know how it goes. :)

[@MatteoSchatz]

@@DanteAZ72how did it go?

[@cajunpipesmoker1519]

It helped me!!! Thank you!

[@outofeden_bushcraft3142]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@WildTuscanyBushcraft]

Well done brother !!! Are you using veg tanned leather ?

[@Me.321]

Can you use a heat gun to rush the drying process?

[@charleskiblinger555]

Do you use distilled water, where the minerals won't discolor the leather?

[@outofeden_bushcraft3142]

To be honest with you sir I've never even thought of that . will definitely be doing it next time. Thanks for the info

[@FrankChristopherOutdoors]

Great video man thank you

[@outofeden_bushcraft3142]

Thank you my friend 🙏

[@AaronBosterMD]

Thank you!

[@OlJarhead]

Do you add anything to the water?

[@outofeden_bushcraft3142]

I do not brother but I know some people when it's saturated massages melted beeswax into the leather and then forms it around the blade as I have done in this video and that makes it a little bit more rigid

[@RogerF]

Thank you!!!

[@xxfaction6xx]

thanks man.

[@outofeden_bushcraft3142]

My pleasure 🙏

[@jaipark1817]

Does the temperature of the water matter?

[@outofeden_bushcraft3142]

Jai Park No sir . I use cold water as I'm afraid hit or even warm would cause the leather to fade more .

[@themiwoodsman7222]

thanks for the idea my friend i have one that needs just that ! atb john

I assume you just soaked in water?

[@outofeden_bushcraft3142]

Yes sir 👍🏻

[@TheRoadDawg]

@@outofeden_bushcraft3142 I appreciate the video and your response. I actually used your method and reformed an old Remington sheath to fit a custom knife I was using for some carving. It really worked well! Thanks so much for this easy to follow guide!!!
