Making a Leather & Kydex Survival Knife Sheath Leather Working ASMR 

I can't tell you what a wonderful, peaceful experience it was just watching that video. It's so seldom to see a true artist at work anymore, let alone one with this kind of skill. The end product was truly a thing of beauty.

Having declared my dissatisfaction with this sharpener last night ru-vid.comUgkxDcr-y2Pf6xdnrFHrSP7dl9kpKaCozcSQ I thought about the problem some more. It occurred to me that I might be undoing each attempt at achieving a sharp edge by the repeated attempts. So, I tried to clean up the unsatisfactory result by honing with only positions 3 and 4.Miracle!! A really nicely sharpened chef's knife, more than enough to handle my needs. Admittedly, it did not reach professionally sharpened razor-fineness, but it is now significantly sharper than it was. A bout of breaking down carrots convinced me. So, major apologies to the manufacturer, Amazon, and all happy and potential owners! Follow the directions: don't buy it if you have ceramic blades; and don't overwork your knife blade.

Dozens of little details that make so much sense! I could watch for hours!

As a simple man with no skills, I can only dream of one day having such a fine sheath for my knife. Thank you for sharing

Чудо-ножны! Просто произведение искусства! Тут случай, когда ножны стоят дороже, чем сам нож! Мастеру ставлю БОЛЬШОЙ КЛАСС!!! 👍👏

The thing that struck me about this video, the main reason I watched it, was that I couldn’t imagine why someone would use both leather and kydex to make a knife sheath. I thought perhaps you’d use the kydex as a backing to stiffen the sheath and protect the back from wear. Using it to make the mouth to protect the leather from the knife is frankly genius. Traditionally in many places bone or horn are used but shaping those materials can be tricky. Thanks for the idea.

I've watched a lot of videos on making leather sheaths in the last year and that by far is the nicest one, great job

So good to see a craftsman at work

You are a great craftsman. I like your attention to detail and artistic touch. I make fairly simple leather sheaths for my knives. I feel encouraged to step up my leather work game! Thank you 🙂

Beautiful piece of art. Love watching the craftsmanship. That leather deserves a custom blade

I am a Bladesmith and make all my own sheaths and have made sheaths for David Boye knives for several years and have learned a lot doing so. I learn more from every sheath video you make, Thank you very much, beautiful work. I cringed when I saw you using your skiving knife to pry the Kydex up over the rivet. A couple of weeks ago I opened up my thumb with my skiving knife, glad you didn't do the same.

I made a sheath for my bowie knife a few weeks ago. I'm a lefty so I have to change everything. Wish I had seen this first. Always amazing.

That has got to be the best knife sheath I've ever seen! Amazing leather work 👍👍

That's not a sheath.... It's a work of art!

Nerves of sreel and the patience of Job.

That time when the sheath is worth ten times more than the knife.

All artists have the same beautiful fingers!!!

Crap now I’m hooked on this 😂 can’t stop watching. Thanks for the brain food

Much better than that cheap knife deserves!

Amazing craftsmanship!!!

Волшебник!!!!уважение!!!!

Beautiful sheath

As always, such an outstanding project. I don't know how you sleep at night with all of those creative ideas flying around in your head!!!

Beautiful Workmanship, thanks for sharing.

Master Craftsman!

Stuning job young man neat & clean and also very clever attachment of the belt loop. The only thing you need is a peaice of spacer leather between sheath body& belt loop and the knife will seat properly . Happy Trails

😮worth more than the knife 🎉❤

Beautiful and amazing work

Wow .. turned out Beautiful.. nice work.

That is awesome artistry and function!

I learned a few things I haven't thought of before, thank you very much. One thing though: I do not know what your fume exhaust situation with the laser is. Burning away kydex is close to being dangerous. Kydex being a PVC, it releases chlorine gas when burned. Not only is that all kinds of hazardous to you, it's also corrosive and may damage bith your laser as well as the exhaust pipes.

I’ve made a few sheaths over time. Q: What’s the difference between a guy who makes things and a master craftsman? A: An infinite number of little things. I did chuckle when you used a drill press for lacing holes, because I’ve done that. I also had this fantasy of an apprentice in your shop asking “Why did you tool the back of the sheath?” “Because that’s what’s going to make it better than yours.” I do think you’re at a level of craftsmanship that having a “maker’s stamp” made to brand your work wouldn’t be out of line.

I have built a handful of more complex multi-piece sheaths for my custom knives, but this just unlocked so many things that I never even thought to try! Thank you for putting this out here for us to enjoy and learn from. Wonderful work, and again thank you for putting this out into the world.

Bonita funda amigo,y buenas manos.

What an awesome design. This was amazing to watch. 👏👏

Friend, your leather work is art. I’m new to leather working and I have learned a lot from this video. I liked and subscribed. Thank you

Thourouly impressed !

Fantastic work! Your channel is a real treat.

I’m trying to get into leatherworking as a hobby. This is a cool channel. Very nice work

Gorgeous art!

Absolutely stunning work! Love your technique

Absolutely lovely knife case thanks for sharing the process of making it.

Great desing, outstanding crafsmanship you sir are an artist

i cant believe I'm going to say this but, I really really hope you don't under charge people. this Is amazing work and the editing hides the many hours not shown. this type of work deserves a good payout for each one made.

Admirable. Una obra de arte.

What drill press did you use to make the holes foe sewing, this would make my projects so much faster. Im guessing a special drill bit for it as well?

I have the same problem. I think the tape doesnt work on this type of stamping cause its literally the whole piece of leather so the extra has to go somewhere. I just cut my backpiece a little bigger and trim to fit

very nice job !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Una. Obra. De. Arte... gracias..

You just keep outdoing yourself. That one fine pig sticker holder. On a side note. I miss your old tunes you used to play a year ago

Really beautiful sheath Great job

Beautifully photographed, excellent lighting and sound. Masterful process and execution with plenty of hints and tips sprinkled into this excellent video. Thanks!

Wow great looking sheath! I wish my SRK had a home like that.

Uzasna praca. Ste uzasny majster. Prajem vela uspechov.

Harika!!! Hunerli eller ve muhtesem videolar. Lutfen uretmeye ve paylasmaya devam et. Her videonun sonunda sabirsizlikla bir sonraki videonu bekliyorum.

This is really beautiful work! 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

That's the best work I've ever seen making a knife sheath it's absolutely fantastic work really enjoyed watching every minute of it very we'll done 😊😊

GRACIAS MAESTRO UN EXELENTE TRABAJO COMO TAMBIEN FANTASTICO ARTESANO, SALUDOS DESDE FERNLEY NEVADA.

Very impressive. I have a long way to get you your level of craftsmanship. You do give ideas and desires for one to better themselves with leathercraft.

I think I would leave a little bigger gap in the gussets at the tip, for drainage. Tools get used in the rain, after all....

Wow wow wow, that looks like an awesome sheith you have done, I'm new to leather work so know how hard to keep everything looking totally professional. Stay safe & mostly stay strong!! 😁

Admire your work. What is the insert you installed to protect the leather from the blade edge?

Knife looks like a Buddy K Special. Actually a Cold Steel Survivalist more worthy of Beautiful workmanship!!!👍

Easily the most beautiful sheath I've seen in many a year. WOW!!

dude, this is a work of art! good luck and success! Thank you! what kind of grindstones do you have?

Amazing really nice. Congrats.

Наслада за очите!Браво!

كان عملاً رائعاً ومتقناً وجميلاً

Beautiful sheath... looking to get something like that for my Ka-bar... with USMC and the Marine Corps emblem embossed in it. Left handed, though.

Real fine craftsmanship. Beautiful, functional sheath.

Wahrhaft ein Meisterwerk sehr gut !

Nice sheath. Like the other guy said: “the sheath is worth more than the knife.” You should really only slick the edges after you have assembled the panels and sanded the edges so as not to do it more than once. Saves time and work.

Професионально💪👍

Sangat berkelas dan bernilai tinggi👍🙏

I have the same knife and I can assure you that it's worthy of that sheath. It's a perfectly balanced fighting knife. I can get mine screaming sharp. I like your attention to detail. No I can't make a sheath as nice as you. But like you I'm proud of my ability. I have put some people in awe of how sharp I can get a knife. 50 years of experience helps. My dad used to say please not so sharp this time. I always got a inside laugh about it. But he was serious.

Тот случай когда ножны в 3 раза дороже ножа, или в 4...😄

🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷👍süper 35 dakikadır izledim 10 numara 👍

Very nice Big Job .🇨🇦👍

Congratulations to your new leather sheath👍..and knife..💪.Although it was a hard job to make it..I could recommend to buy an extra Drop forged knife..one never knows,because sometimes it is very easy to loose the knife on the grass and any other knife than this does'nt fit that beautiful sheath.Better have two pieces🙂..maybe it would not be possible to got it in Cold Steel offer after some time although the knife is awesome...sometimes it happened to me,I'm afraid😂😭

Lord sir you are good at what you do!! Hopefully I can contact you and see about getting one made for my CS Survivalist!! AWESOME!

Nice Work !!!

Thanks, that's amazing

Another awesome video! Your craftsmanship is wonderful to watch. I always enjoy watching you make some incredible, yet functional, works of art! Cheers!

This is real craftmanship.

That is absolutely incredible
