A little secret (or not) to getting very nice burnished edges is to get them sanded silky smooth before you even begin to burnish. No amount of rubbing or burnishing will successfully smooth a rough sanded or cut edge. You'll simply get a nice shiny lumpy finish.

Same for me as the above. 2/3 ounce veggie tanned cow hide just works best for me. The edges especially blend better when the leathers are of like tannage.

Thank you, much appreciated. :) Many thanks my friend, its been a while since I showed anything, time to come out of the cave. :s7435:

Double Mint Thank You! :D

Many thanks! :)

These two I'm happy with. I do love that the ends of the XO stamp comes out in a nice heart at the tip of the sheath. Some meander stamps will do the same. It really pays to study the masters to see these nifty little things. :) The back, I came up with this type of belt loop a few years...

First sheath? Very nice work to start out with. Keep up the good work! :D

I see em. :) The first one's appear to be thumbnails where as the last one was full size as far as I can tell. Good to go!

:s12205:Welcome to Knife Dogs Ken! Good to see you here! :s12205:

Your very welcome. :) I did get permission to move a lot of that information over here and he did say he'd get over here when he got the chance. Good things are a coming! :D

One of the best folder sheath makers is Gary Graley. He has a well written thread on the subject, well actually a few over there on Blade Forums. I'll post a link to it here, then I want to get Gary's permission to either move the info here or he can actually come on over and make one. :)...

Wow KT! So nice! Love the knife as well. :)

That is an odd looking machine, the post is the most perplexing. Not sure what this machine is intended for but one of your concerns is how high the foot will raise and how much material that it is capable of sewing. Those two are the most important. I did a short lookup on it and still cant...

Could be a membership issue, since I am not a member of that forum I cant see the pics, possibly. Its happened many times before when cross posting attachments from one forum to the other, especially if the software isn't compatible.

I get nothing but error messages. Might be best to host the pictures on a hosting site like photobucket then posting them here.

A match made in heaven. And yes I am taking notes KT. :D

Getting better and better! Keep it up and never stop wanting to improve. :1: The moment when you begin to think you've mastered it all is when you need to start over. :nothing:

Love that pattern! I've seen Sandy do something similar but turned around, looked like snake skin. :)

Not bad at all for a first attempt at carving, the lines look nice and smooth and so does the beveling. I like how you rendered the tree,very natural. Half the battle is smooth cuts with the swivel knife, I try to keep scrap near to "warm up" on before I go into the actual carving. :) Well...

Thanks much! :) And I visited your site and love your work!
