Made for each other. No really, they were made for each other. Great work as always.

A puuko sheath has a much different process than a normal sheath: carving, stretching, stitching, and dyeing.

Nice work Tony!
I have built a couple puuko sheaths, one for a puuko and another a puuko style for a fish knife.
They are a bit different but I like making them.

Beautiful work Tony! Do you have a heavy duty machine, for the stiching...or do you do it by hand?

Tony_Wood · Post by **Tony_Wood** » Tue Jan 01, 2019 2:45 pm

Thanks Wally. Beautiful sheath you have there.

Dale, these are the first puuko sheaths I have made. The leather I used was not exactly correct. It did not draw up tightly as planned. Thanks.

Doc, thanks very much. I do not have a machine. All of the stitching is done by hand. Sometimes I use a drill press, followed by an awl, for the holes. Sometimes just an awl, depending upon the thickness/stiffness of the leather.

That is extra amazing...that you are doing all of stiching by hand. Looks so perfect!!!!!

Thank you Sam.

Just finished this one up.

Tony I can't figure out if you are a leather worker or a knife maker. I guess you wear many hats and all well.

Very attractive sheath Tony, well done.

Just curious, is it a belt or pocket model?

Floyd, I am truly a jack of all and master of none!
Thank you.

Thank you sir. This is a belt sheath, but it has a low profile loop so it can be carried in a pocket. The loop is attached with brass rivets. I will get a pic of the back side.

Some leather for my most recent fixed blade build.

The sheath is the perfect compliment to the knife Tony. Great job and attractive.

Beautiful! You must be proud of your work! How much would your cost to make a sheath for a buck skinner be???

Thank you. I currently have “work overload syndrome.” Usually my leather time is occupied by sheaths for knives I have made.
I have built a few sheath along for other knives. They start at $50.

New leather work.

I like the coffin shape of the sheath. It and the knife compliment each other.
