What are you working on?

**Hirlau** · 05-11-2017, 01:40 AM

Well, here is the sheath I finished for my Bruno Blade that I showed you last week.

I tried to get a vintage look with a mixture of antique & black stain mixed. A half inch welt riding the length of the edge. Form fitted with some Agate Stone bling,,,,,

Thank you for looking,,,,,

After sanding both sides of a blade to a desired finish, I like to cover them with scotch tape and cut away the excess with a SE blade. This protects the blade face's from unwanted scratches while sanding the spine,toe, and tang areas.

Remove the tape once all has been sanded, and is ready for buffing or polishing.
Or if your going for a brushed or satin look with polished spine and tang, leave the tape on till all else has been polished.

I,m Loving It,,, You Taped The Spine On The SE Before Honing,, Nice Job,, Let Us Know How It Shaves!!!!

Nicely done John, though I am a little disappointed that a "Bruno" blade does not come with a Super Grover image stamped on the blade.

**RezDog** · 05-11-2017, 01:51 AM

That is a very nice sheath John.

Actually it does, but I begged him to leave it off this time.

Every time I see a new project in leather from you I see that your skills are improving.

Thanks, I took the last 6 months off from leather. My problem is straight lines & carving, I don't know how to carve yet.
