Last Friday a friend comes with a knife made by himself. He asked me if I could make a holder for his nice homemade blade.
...done, with a Barenia leather with natural veg tan...ImageImageImageImage

[mention]Nottingham[/mention] that’s a beautiful strap! Nice stitching as well.

[mention]toofsy[/mention] great work! The sheath looks perfectly matched to the knife. I like your construction as well. The lighter strip in the center sets it off nicely.

They are third execution and at 2mm wide are providing a stumbling block to finishing
I’m even considering having some made but can’t find anyone who specialises
Might anyone be able to help?
Cheers
How do the hands look now, isn't refurbishing possible?
Some time in the past the more modern hands have been fitted so it just doesn’t have the correct look

Nothing special, but a really nice movement.
