How I Made this Sheath (and Almost Ruined It) with Will Stelter

‪@WillStelterbladesmith‬ made a trip north to my shop, armed with knives and dad jokes, to build the perfect leather sheath for his personal "truck knife". I can't think of a more perfect project to try out the Damascus round knife he made for me. There were some bumps along the way as we made the sheath, but I hope he'll enjoy the finished product as he straps it to his hip and scampers about it in the rattlesnake-infested mountains of Montana.
You'll see me using an UNBELIEVABLE 100-layer Damascus round knife that Will made for me, and I think you'll love his video where he shows the process of making this very knife! • Making the Worlds Nice... I think you'll like his other videos as well-- he's a talented guy and a downright good man. Huge thanks to Will for being too nice to say no when I asked him to film some footage of the process! He did a beautiful job.

Wow, what a beautiful finished product. I love that there are still people out there that care enough about quality and attention to detail to devote themselves to creating works of art like this.

@wilsonrawlin8547 2 года назад

This video truly shows the amount of detail and craftsmanship that goes into making a custom sheath. Beautiful work!

@olafdelke-lejeune6093 2 года назад

Congrats to a beautiful piece of artisan leatherwork for another beautiful piece of American heritage. First I was shocked when you've been talking about machine stitching. Even your machine knew when to quit. 🤣 seriously, the hand stitching was the peak of craftsmanship to this sheath. Perfectly accomplished. Thanks for sharing. Appreciated the leather soap water tip. Didn't know before. Perfect edges. Cheers from old Germany.

Great to see you guys working together, hopefully you can collaborate on some more projects.

@susantipsyhealy7655 2 года назад

I made a sheath that ended up really thick and I pre punched the holes in the areas the thickest. Assembly was fun, lining up those holes. You do beautiful work. And the young knife maker , Will, does the same. Gorgeous.

Love the sheath. looks fantastic. Thanks for all our videos. so so helpful

@josiahrobinson52 2 года назад

That sheath turned out beautiful, Tanner! So cool to see both this video as well as Will’s. What I love most about this video was how you showed your problem solving skills and the process of fixing any mishaps. To me, that feels more valuable to learn from than most typical tutorials!

@ClaridgeLeather 2 года назад

Thanks, Josiah! I think that’s the thing (the mishaps) that I enjoy about other people’s videos too! I appreciate you watching and thank you for the kind words!

@robthewaywardwoodworker9956 2 года назад

Sheath turned out to be a great compliment to the beautiful knife. Well done to both of you.

@jessesaltarelli8652 2 года назад

Your videos just keep getting better my friend! If I had it my way I would love to see more content like this! You are in your element Tanner.

@ReadyUpGo 2 года назад

Nice work. Until people try to work leather they don’t know how much skill and care it takes, partly because you make it look so easy! Great vid and thank you for including your young apprentice. Makes my morning.

@flatlandwelder 2 года назад

From an old man that's dabbled in leather for over 40 years, it was good to learn a bit of you skills and methods. Most of my work was holsters for cops that couldn't pay new price. At the start of my carrier, the cops had to supply their own pistols, holsters and bullets. You do superb work. Best to you and yours.

I've watched just about every sheath making video i can find. A lot of really good ones and just as many pitiful ones. This one is really really good man. That's beautiful. Hopefully someday my sheath making attempts will turn out good. And hopefully someday my knives will be as beautiful as Will's.

@MorgwarnLeatherworks 2 года назад

Excellent video. I already used saddle soap for my burnishing, but I have been using the glycerin bar and water. I may try the can variety as that will be less messy. I also like the dilution of the resolene as that seems to soak into the leather better and not sit on the top so much. Thanks for the video! Loved watching Will and Alec, now I have a new channel to watch!

@christopherfisher128 2 года назад

No sarcasm; nice recovery. Been doing leather work for awhile and having an error like that in front of people can throw your stride. You backed up, solved it, and made it great. Thanks for sharing the burnishing tips as well. The only thing I'd add is a couple of Rivets at the mouth of the sheath where that 7/8" leather is. Not only will it reinforce the stitching but you could match the color of the leather/snap.

@jimade679 2 года назад

I have been making Knife sheets similar to yours, I love to backpack and I like to have a belt loop that hangs down lower when carrying my knife. I had to stich mine by hand also, and made the strap going around the handle, with a snap, but having the decorative parts of the handle showing. I enjoy your craftsmanship. Jim from Missouri

That half round knife is awesome!! Aren’t Sinabroks the best, never thought I’d spend that much on a punch (I have three now) might be the best money I ever spent. The old saying is “buy once cry once” is so true. That being said, whatever the price of the knife and sheath is, it’s worth it! Think of the enjoyment it will bring to several generations! Excellent craftsmanship done on both pieces! Thanks for sharing.
