Richter Knives Episode #80 HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN LEATHER KNIFE SLIP (UNEDITED AND UNCUT) 

I showed up for the makery, I stayed because you said slickity, and I liked and subscribed for all the eleventies.

This is a quote straight from the KING himself…. Values are like fingerprints. Nobody’s are the same, but you leave ‘em all over everything you do. Keep up the awesome work my friend

We can't go on together with suspicious minds. People laugh and sometimes make fun but Elvis was the man, very talented

Not only was Elvis the most talented entertainer, but he was a caring humanitarian who secretly did a lot of things for common people.

Watched the entire show ... no skipping around here, im too fat to skip 😂 My dad loved Elvis. Used to get him something with Elvis every Christmas. He's gone now, you never really realize how much you can miss someone till it happens. Take care brother

Elvis holds the record for the most songs to chart in Billboard’s top 40. I lived in Memphis for 3 years, and while there I worked at Anna’s Steakhouse. The owner, Anna, went to school with Elvis. All of the walls were covered in pictures of Elvis, and we only played Elvis music in the restaurant. During the holidays, we only played Elvis Christmas music. I was only 15 when I started there as a busboy, but I quickly learned all of Elvis’s songs. Anna eventually sold the restaurant and is a tour guide at Graceland now. Pretty cool!

Elvis is the bomb. I have been dabbling with leather work, and I have learned so much from you tonight. Thank you.

Forest Gump teaching the King. Great video, keep up the good work🎸🎸🎸

Elvis had a warm and kind heart.

I made it through the whole video finally! Thanks for doing this man, I learned a few more tricks. When Elvis danced on stage the ladies went crazy. 🤠

An hour well spent. Always wanted to learn how to saddle-stitch. Now to get some tools and thread. Thanks Richter!

Yesssss it’s finally up The ”R” Premiere !!! 🎉 grabbing my popcorn 🍿 sitting 🪑 back and Learning leather work 😁👍

Ooohh CC Rider is a great slip making song!" Thank you, thank you very much" for this video!

Oh my goodness, I love this video!! I'm geeking out over this stuff! I might try that glue.. I use wood glue, works ok but I'm looking for something different. Thanks Michael! Good job on this! Good enough for government work... LOL!

Beautifully done Richter Elvis has beautiful hair!!!! 😊

thank you, always enjoy Ur videos. and just you in general. and Elvis was a southern gentleman who left us too soon. 😎

Epic tutorial, Richter! My Sodbuster Jr. needs an Elvis leather suit!

Wow! I thoroughly enjoyed watching the process of how it’s made. I just received my email today that my peach seed jig mahogany sod buster jr is in the way!! 🙌🏼. The king’s middle name is my first name lol. My top 3 favorite Elvis songs have to be: Devil in disguise, Suspicious minds and Can’t help falling in love. I appreciate the content 🙏🏼. Keep up the great work!

Great video. A lot of helpful tips in there. Thank you! No one better than the king!

Like that slip you made for you brother. Cool dog stamp. My mom loves Elvis he is the man, so I love em too

Thanks for the lesson. Color me inspired. Will be going down to the “ Lobby of Hobbies “ soon. Elvis is timeless and if you don’t like Elvis…

I just saw Elvis the other day. Most people don't know this... but he's still alive. I swear!

Great video! Hail to the King!

I'm not a big fan of Elvis. Moma always told me if I didn't have anything nice to say, well, you know. I do like the fact that Elvis surved in the military and his moves didn't suck. Great leather tutorial, i enjoyed it.

Excellent video instruction my friend… you certainly did TCB as the King would say… you have one new subscriber from Bonnie Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

Wow, this was fantastic, bro! I enjoyed every second of that! I use one of those metal half circle punches to shorten up leather wrist watch straps sometimes, in order to still retain the perfect circular strap end. And you're SOO right, man!...when I don't keep my holes straight...I can never get a date!!! 🤣🤣 Or make that a SECOND date hahaha!!! 🤣🤣

Awesome video. That slip is ready to do the jailhouse rock lol.

Hell of a video bud. Im gonna follow your method and make one myself!

He is the king

As far as Elvis goes, my friend, my wife is from Miami and we live in my home state of Virginia. For me, Christmas time means voices like Bing Crosby and Thurl Ravenscroft. But, for my wife, the sound of the season is Elvis' Blue Christmas.

Thank you Michael, this was an amazing video. You taught me a lot, I’ve always wondered how you’ve done ✅ it and it’s awesome watching you do this. And I got too see you do the infamous “R” I saw that stamp and Hand Made stamp and I was like years it’s on like Donkey 🦍 Kong !!! Seriously, Thank You 🙏 you did a long video so I am very appreciative and you really did teach me a lot . Watching this whole thing and straight too my saved list. ❤️👍🙏

Elvis lives... right next door to me here in Melbourne Australia!

Took notes and now I’m ready. Thank you for making this video! 🙏

Aint nothin but a hound dog . That would be cool for my sod buster :) .

Elvis was a true legend. Need to watch the recent film about him. This was brilliant Richter!! Really enjoyed this, and Im sure it will inspire a lot people to give it a go. If I had more time I definitely would. Cheers 🍻

KNICE! The king of rock n roll was also an honorably discharged Us Army Sergeant.

FINALLY🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉!!!!!

Nice job.

Hunk-a hunk-a burning 🔥Looovvveee … “Elvis is thee man” Come on baby Sodbuster needs me a new Handmade “R” !!!! 🙏🙏🙏😁😁😁

Thanks very informative

Very awesome dude

Nice work! Oh ya, first

THANK YOU

beautiful slip.......blue swede shoes, Elvis is still the King

Great video Mr. Richter! Thanks for sharing and making it fun! Subscribed and 👍...:)

Thanks for the video. I have been making my own slips for 2 years now. Learned a couple things. Thanks again.

Richter great video! Elvis is one of my favorite artists of all time! I’ve been to his home in Memphis Tennessee for a tour! The song “welcome to my world “ is the song they play while your on the bus entering the gates of Graceland! Here is a fun fact about Elvis.. a young girl with her parents told Elvis that she liked his ring , Elvis being the kind spirit that he was .. took off a VERY VERY expensive diamond ring and handed it to her and said now it’s yours!

You have literally just inspired me to start leather working. Great video. Great teacher.

You do a really good job and Share you talent with everyone, that make you a really good person. Thank you very much. God bless you 🙏 .

Great video. Been thinking about trying my hand at leather work. Listened to Elvis growing up, definitely an icon.

I thank u for teaching everyone how to make a knife case it was very educated I like your video and would like to learn more

Watched this again for like the uptenth time Michael, Love It, and Thank You 🙏 👍

Cool

I know I’m late on this one but Elvis’ favorite sandwich was peanut butter, bacon, and banana! Thanks for the video brother. Gonna try to make one of these soon for my cases!

Great video , i realy want to get into this now more than ever. Elvis blue suede shoes ,wait is that a slip color idea .

Awesome video! Enjoyed it greatly.

Elvis had great taste in carpet!

Good stuff man! Very nice work! Yaaaaa Ninja!!!!!!

Now I know how intricate you have to be for this type of work, plus some artistry, great job and thanks for the vid. Did you know when Elvis visited Nixon in the White House, He was wearing a gun, thats cool!

Hunky hunky burning love 😊

Great tutorial may give it a try

Use sheep whool to apply dies evenly and then when it dries use another piece to buff the color nice and even!

Great video Michael, I had to stop watching for about 5 minutes @57:52 though because I was laughing so hard! You should have been a teacher...

I’m heading to Hobby Lobby to grab the last of the supplies. Thank you very much for the tutorial man. I found your channel through Doody. Cheers! Happy New Year!!

Elvis was the King of rock n roll.

Viva Las Vegas. 😀

Great video, thank you Richter 👍 Is 5-6oz leather the correct size? Do you have a preferred thread size? You mentioned 0.8mm… on Rocky Mountain they mostly have .6, .8, 1, and 1.2 size. 27:00 do you normally cut that thread grove into the back as well? I see-probably because you have to punch the holes through. “Because I like to party” 🤣 I actually live in the town where Elvis was born Thanks again Richter.

Not sure how you’re gonna choose a winner for the slip but if I may…. I’d like to throw in a vote for @Aaronrjasso.

Great video, thank you. The only thing that would make it better was if I had a peanut butter, banana, and bacon sandwich dressed with a touch of honey. Elvis knew his sandwiches.

Mr.Richter where is it that you suggest getting the kit from? Sounds like you say Evil Base or Evil Bays but I’m guessing it’s eBay haha. I appreciate you showing your process… really contemplating trying to make a slip myself since I just bought 2 Sodbuster Jrs.

His number 1 song was in the ghetto and he died 5 miles from my house in Maine

He sure was a hound dog, with the peanut butter and banana sammiches

Great video! What thickness of leather do you use?

Blue suede shoes.

Hound Dog rules

Thanks for sharing the tips! Did you make that leather holder (for sewing the slip) by yourself? Regardless appreciate it bud!

Can you make them with a belt loop on the back to wear on the belt

A little less conversation, a little more action, please! Great lesson

🙂

Elvis is the king

Can you make them with a belt loop on the back to wear on the belt 1:10:07

How come you don't die the interior to match the exterior? Ann-Margret (!!!) and Tuesday Weld (!!!) used to visit Elvis at Graceland.

Elvis is king

I’m looking around for these tools you need but I can’t find a good USA made kit that has what’s needed. You have a link or a seller you got yours from? Would like to support us makers if possible

what thickness of leather do you use?

peanut butter, naners, and bacon....

Hello, ...what oz / weight/ thickness leather is that, or which would you recommend ?

What weight leather?

Do u make them with belt loops on them to wear on a belt

Elvis still alive ..suspicious minds
