Thread: Playing with leather

Hi Hunter . Thanks ...
I wouldn't have done the flap closure like that if I was belt mounting it but ok just in bag and the knife and blades are still a light friction fit in sheath so won't fall out anyway .
I left the flap leather normal to start but wasn't happy so soaked the flap up until about 3/4 of inch before the the mouth of sheath , slid it under strap and molded around sheath so it wraps around it then cooked it with a hairdryer . When dry the flap is stiff but the point above mouth is still flexible to allow it to bend to get open or closed and because leather is stiff you actually have to make an effort to open it as it doesn't want to bend to allow you to pull it out ... Make sense ?
You can see in the 2nd pic where the flap is stuck up stiff and shaped to wrap from the tip to just after the bend where flexible leather starts .

The scalpel was from Ali express . The seller was tczuo edc . Have since ordered 4 more for the guys at work which arrived the other day .
I am considering ordering in a bunch more as 2 others now want one after seeing mine as well as my boy ....
