You guys asked for it, so here you go! This video is not for the faint of heart. My process including detailed information about the steps I take and the tools I use. I chose the classic Buck 110 for this tutorial, but the principles apply to any sheath...with a different design of course.
Here's some of the tools I use. Couldn't find links for all of them so you'll have to do some of your own searching.

Many thanks for your time to film and instruct us. There's something about wet forming that just satisfies me about how it holds a knife!

@haveaknifeday6253 5 месяцев назад

Excellent tutorial, learned a lot. Not that I have arrived, I am just getting started but I did learn from another leather crafter that when stitching you can have both threads pulled through the back of the leather when you cut and burn them and it gives a cleaner look and you have less chance of burning the leather on the presentation side of your project.

@wyomingwright 5 месяцев назад

I’ve done that but I like the nice tight finish you get pulling the threads in opposite directions. I don’t mind the small melted bit in the front. It motivates me to keep everything tight and clean instead of just hiding it all in the back😁

@jameshoward8609 4 месяца назад

You get the tight finish from tying a knot with the two loose ends of thread inside the item being stitched. The ends are then hidden inside the item and never have a melted point on the outside of your project. Also if you are using the correct saddle stitch where each loop of the stitch is wrapped together then the stitches don't move before you are able to clip the end and melt it.

Looks nice. I've re learned much. I did leather work 45 yrs ago.ha at 76 getting back into it.

This is a very good tutorial, i will follow every step in making my own sheath for a shear.

Do you make a quick draw leather knife shieth for. A Victronox Hunter Pro ? How much the knife is close to an inch longer than the Buck 110

@mmoreno7137 3 месяца назад

FYI the lighter looks like a Maratac Peanut XL.

@scottmcintosh2988 5 месяцев назад

Use a wood double twist clamp for wood no stitching poney necessary!

@russelltait3152 10 месяцев назад

Wing dividers would put your stitch lines and cut line in two passes.

@wyomingwright 10 месяцев назад

True. I do have some and I’ve found I’m much more consistent doing the first line with the awl. Navigating the wing dividers around the sheath without a line to follow often results in mess-ups for me 😬

@jameshoward8609 4 месяца назад

I like your hot wax dipping method for molded sheaths. Saves from having to harden the leather to retain stiff form. I would not think this method would be good for items that you want to keep flexibility in. I mostly just rub straight bees wax on the exterior of the leather (front , back, edges) and buff by hand to create the heat needed to melt the wax into the outer layer. This process has to be redone periodically but makes things water resistant and will still stay flexible.

@wyomingwright 4 месяца назад

You are correct. The wax dipping does not lend itself well to flexibility

@jameshoward8609 4 месяца назад

@@wyomingwright I am glad I caught your video. I have a few items I made for fishing tackle I would like to stiffen and water (proof/resist) this just showed me everything I had been looking for. Thank You!

@vanessakitty8867 20 дней назад

The lighter used is from County Comm in California. A fun company to find interesting tools and such.

@wyomingwright 20 дней назад

Yes. I actually ordered mine through Amazon a few years ago. The newer model is not quite as robust in construction as the original unfortunately.

@Rub3nortiz 6 месяцев назад

If you HAD dyed the sheath prior to dipping in the wax/fat solution, does it change the color?

@wyomingwright 6 месяцев назад

Yes it would make it darker, but the change is not as drastic as from undyed to waxed.

@RichardMathers-d9f 2 месяца назад

Great video, thank you! In a previous video, you included beef tallow in your beeswax recipe. Is there any reason you now use Lanolin instead? 😊

@wyomingwright 2 месяца назад

Just trying different things…still use a little tallow from time to time. I’ve just been liking what the lanolin does to the leather. Seems like a little tougher oil. Plus then I don’t have to hear all the comments about how my sheath will become rancid and stinky because I used tallow…even though that will never happen

Could a person use a regular sewing machine to do the stitches?

@wyomingwright 8 месяцев назад

No you would need a very heavy machine. One made for leather or heavy canvas

@kimmower6196 10 месяцев назад

What size of harness needles and thread do you use,and the punch type thanks

@wyomingwright 10 месяцев назад

Can't remember the need size. Bought em too long ago...Big but not huge.....03" or .04" thread from Maine Thready Company. I like the braided waxed stuff

@faiksahinturk4133 6 месяцев назад

Hello. How did you harden the leather? What is the method for this?

@gregwilson3395 6 месяцев назад

Love this sheath! I'm going to have to make it for sure. I've always said the Buck 110 is the best knife ever made,,maybe not but it's one of my favorites. Great video! Just one question; since it looks very difficult not to burn the leather when melting the end of that front side stitch, do you ever just make one more back stitch and take it to the backside? Haven't made it to the end of the video yet. I'm also curious to see the wax dip. May have more questions 😅

@wyomingwright 6 месяцев назад

I have done that before but it’s much easier to pull the last stitch tight with string on both sides.

@kimmower6196 10 месяцев назад

Great tutorial nice job l'm getting reading to build the same type of sheath for my buck 110 thanks

@wyomingwright 10 месяцев назад

I’m glad it helped!

@jmw1910 10 месяцев назад

you're work is looking top notch man. You ever considered doing a torture test on your wax dipped process? I think it would be interesting to see how it does day in and day out in some adverse WY conditions. Like a year on a fence post or year tied to the 4 wheeler or something like that.

@wyomingwright 10 месяцев назад

I like that idea! I might have to try that

@jmw1910 10 месяцев назад

I'll be interested to see when you do. I've done it with my personal wax blend and process. @@wyomingwright

@johnderbabian6198 8 месяцев назад

Are you using straight Bee's Wax?

@wyomingwright 8 месяцев назад

No it’s about 70-80% beeswax. The rest lanolin and neatsfoot oil

@johnderbabian6198 8 месяцев назад

@@wyomingwright Thank you for the reply! Would you mind sharing the amount of lanolin and neatsfoot you use?

@wyomingwright 8 месяцев назад

Well I wish I could say it was an exact science but I just have a running pot of wax that I add to from time to time so it’s a bit of a guessing game but I would say %20 lanolin 10% neetsfoot oil. I like what the lanolin does to the leather but I don’t love the smell. The neetsfoot oil helps bring down the melting point so it’s easier to get penetration
