Old Timer sheath repair

Post by Reverand »

Since I had bought a few cheap leatherworking tools in order to repair my Dad's PAL sheath, I took the opportunity to also repair the sheath for a Schrade 25OT that he had given me when I was a teen.
The belt loop had cracked and broken.
I don't have an edge bevel or a burnisher, and after the fact I wish that I had sanded or otherwise done something to finish it. It looked great while laying on the cutting board - but not so good once it was applied.
Oh well, I wasn't planning on quitting my day job just yet, anyway.
The new leather has a definite red color. I have not dyed this piece like I did the one on the PAL sheath. It matched up fairly well after some "Dark Chocolate" Rit Dye. I will probably do this one the same way when I get the chance.

Everything else is just a hobby.

Loosk like a good functional repair! Each time you repair or make something in leather ypu will improve! The best part is you can use it again.
