Between a new baby last November, a new job that started the week after that, and all of my other hobbies, I haven't spent much time on knives recently. I actually have had four blades at various stages of completion that I hadn't touched since January. Last week, I finally started back and finished one of them up. Did the sheath over the weekend.
1084 blade
Bocote scales
Three 1/8" and five 1/16" stainless pins
OAL: 7 3/8"
Blade: 3 1/2"
I also have a quick question for you leather guys. When I fold my leather around to stitch, after finishing my stamping, it always seems to stretch and distort the pattern near the fold. I see sheaths on here that have tooling that goes al the way around the sheath with no distortion at all. What do I need to do to keep the tooling from being affected when I fold the leather.
