Tippit knife with sheath
« on: November 09, 2011, 11:05:00 AM »
Here is a camp knife Jeff sold at Denton Hill to TG member Matt Fricker. I built his sheath to match his arm guard. I lined the sheath with veg tan Kangaroo. I just wanted to mention I always come to look at what you guys are building. I may not comment on everyone of the postings. But I just wanted to say you guys do some great work. From begginers to the masters there is a pile of talent. I hope some day to build some of my own knives if I ever find a moment. So enjoy!

That is an absolutely beautiful package!  The sheath compliments that knife well. Good job!

Again Scott, absolutely excellent craftsmanship. Would you mind explaining a couple of things please.
1. the staining process that you used on this one
2. did you glue the kangaroo lining in
3. what weight is the sheath leather
4. do you machine or hand stitch

Thanks,

cheers, Dale

1.The color is chestnut it is a oil based dye. It is a blend of several diffrent oil dyes (TOP SECRET). It is then oiled to the depth of color I am trying to acheive with olive oil. Then sealed antiqued and sealed again.
2. roo is glued and stitched
3. It is 9 oz Herman Oak veg tan.
4. I hand stich as little as possible. So it is machine stiched at 8 stitches per inch. There are a few reasons not to hand sew. First is time and being profitable. Second if the machine is running good it is very hard to duplicate by hand. To get a machine running this tight does take some doing. I really hate working on sewing machines its kind of like working on farm equipment. But I hate hand sewing worse than fixing machinery. So I hope that helps Dale. Thanks for the compliments . Where is Jeff?

Scott,

Looks great to me, and I appreciate the information about how the sheath was made. Jeff's knife now has a nice, cozy place to sleep.

The mother board on my computer blew so I'm using a little note book and my phone.  

Scott your sheaths are works of art!  Now I have a problem...all my other blades complain to me when I try to slip them into one of my sheaths.

Glad you like it Jeff. I knew there had to be reason other than needing glasses.
