Sheath for my Second Knife

Hi Everyone

Here's the sheath for my second knife. I had some questions about improving the stitching so I followed a bit of your advice. It finished better overall than the first one I think. The stitching on the backside does look better but there are still a few whoopsies. The sheath is still the dreaded belly leather but this is pretty much the last of what I have. I can really see it's limitations now. I'll keep an eye out for some double shoulders on sale.

The pattern is new to me and I found it difficult to keep aligned. The next time I use it I will make some changes to improve that.

Enjoy

Brett

Bowman, that looks nice. This stamp is hard to get lined up and you did a good job

As Trav told you, that pattern is not easy to get lined up but you did it well. I like that job.

Very nice job. I hate to do full repetitive patterned panels, just because of the alignment issues (so I carve patterns instead most of the time). Good looking knife as well.
