Another way to do this earlier in the build would be to build up the leather under the blade so that the blade can be slid directly into it&#8217;s sheath. I decided against it since it would make this thing way too thick.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-115893\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0177.jpg\" alt=\"strap used for retaining knife in sheath\" width=\"1100\" height=\"733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0177.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0177-337x225.jpg 337w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0177-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0177-386x258.jpg 386w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0177-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now it&#8217;s time to finish up the retaining strap.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-115894\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0178.jpg\" alt=\"wetting the retaining strap of the knife sheath\" width=\"1100\" height=\"733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0178.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0178-337x225.jpg 337w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0178-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0178-386x258.jpg 386w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0178-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I dampen the strap a bit along the entire length.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-115895\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0181.jpg\" alt=\"pre-stretching the retaining strap\" width=\"1100\" height=\"733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0181.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0181-337x225.jpg 337w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0181-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0181-386x258.jpg 386w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0181-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I then pull on each end to pre-stretch the strap.

The oil helps to lubricate the fibers so they bend instead of tearing. I use Neatsfoot Oil that is 100% pure (not the compound which has other ingredients). Neatsfoot oil is actually a byproduct of the meat industry and works really really well. It comes from the cow&#8217;s shin bone and stays in liquid form even in cold temperatures. Don&#8217;t bother with any other oils out there, this one works and is not harming the environment or animals since it is technically just a waste product.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-115901\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0189.jpg\" alt=\"applying neatsfoot oil to a retaining strap\" width=\"1100\" height=\"733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0189.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0189-337x225.jpg 337w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0189-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0189-386x258.jpg 386w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0189-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Using a sponge I put a medium to light coating of oil on all exterior surfaces of the sheath and retaining strap front only.

I actually make my own leather conditioner in the shop from all natural ingredients called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/shopping\/product\/leather-conditioner\/\">Spiff N Shine<\/a>. The key item in here that we need is the beeswax which will coat the exterior and provide some weather resistance. You can also use a resin based product called Bag Kote, but since I am not certain of the ingredients and their effect on the environment and my own health &#8211; I always opt for the natural option. This conditioner can be used monthly or bi-yearly, or often if you tend to be in the rain a lot.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-115903\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0192.jpg\" alt=\"applying natural conditioner with beeswax to knife sheath\" width=\"1100\" height=\"733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0192.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0192-337x225.jpg 337w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0192-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0192-386x258.jpg 386w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0192-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I use a paper towel to spread an even coat on the exterior of all exterior surfaces and the front only of the retaining strap.

This helps tighten things even more. It is very important to make sure both straps are very tight when making this final mark, otherwise your strap will be slightly loose. Go ahead and punch the hole and install that female snap. Then when cutting off the excess take care to leave extra room that your finger can fit under when unsnapping. Also consider the shape you want that extra tab of leather to look like. Cut it, bevel it and burnish it and for extra points, wax and polish that edge too!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-115867\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0256.jpg\" alt=\"handmade leather knife sheath and handmade knife\" width=\"1100\" height=\"733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0256.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0256-337x225.jpg 337w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0256-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0256-386x258.jpg 386w, https:\/\/www.mrlentz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/leather-knife-sheath-tutorial-how-to-make-a-sheath_01_0256-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Alright &#8211; now we have a finished leather knife sheath with a retaining strap. After putting this thing on &#8211; mine was spot on to the outcome I intended. This doesn&#8217;t always happen and sometimes you will need to hit the drawing board again to revise the design. This is not a bad thing &#8211; you only get better with each that you make. I had actually made a different version of this sheath right before this tutorial was made. It was a cross-draw style worn in the front. After I got through the stitch up of it all and tested it out, I realized that that style worn near the natural curve around my side caused the handle to stick out wayyy to far.

This one is quite comfortable, but I realized that I may need the ability to easily put it on and take it off of a belt. The next design will use a sewn in belt clip traditionally used in holster making. That way I can unclip easily in a car and reclip quickly and without looking like I am taking my pants off!<\/p>\n<p>I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, it was a pleasure to write and share this knowledge with you.
