Nice!

Looking forward to seeing your upland game knife when it is completed.

Would you be able to do a thread showing how you make the sheaths. They look really well made.

Cheers

Here you go.

After cutting out the oatern I mark in the end spots for the belt loop stitches, my makers mark and the line for the inside stitches for the welt.


The pieces are then dyed but the edges etc will be touched up later


The stitch holes are marked in on the pieces that need doing at this stage


and the holes drilled. I use a 2mm drill bit backwards in the drill press that has the shank ground to a point as this makes for a nice clean burnished hole on the face of the leather.
