Book "MAKING LEATHER KNIFE SHEATHS" - Create your leather knife sheaths - Volume 3

KNIFE SHEATH GUIDE - VOLUME 3

Create your own leather knife sheaths to protect them!
Make your own sheaths with this book that will guide you through the steps.

This book will explain basic techniques for working with leather as well as professional-level tips. It will guide you through the different steps to produce your own knife sheath. Each step, from the first sketch to the final leather treatment, is explained in an understandable way with high-quality words and images.

This book shows how a soft leather sheath for a fixed blade is designed and constructed. This volume teaches a welded sheath design with both a separate Mexican loop and a snap closure.

The book has been designed so that it stays open when you put it down. The size of the images and fonts are large enough to be visible and readable when the book is next to you while you work.

The text is in English, but the many step-by-step tutorial photos allow you to understand the creations and reproduce them easily.
