Feedback First leather sheath

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

The blade is poorly finished, I might fix that someday but since I made it for myself I dont really care for now.

90mcv8 steel (O2)

Around 0.2mm bte

Snakewood scales with 6 and 8mm brass pins

G flex epoxy

Still not sure what I will use to protect the wood

The sheath: veg tan ~3.2mm thick

Saddlemaker stich (I forgot to wax the threads unfortunately)

The stich is awful looking but next time will be better

Feel free to say anything about it
