The first leather we worked with was a Chromium Salt Tanned leather, and I had the worst ever allergic reaction to this leather. Beautiful soft leather, but apparently it does not agree with my skin.... I will spare you the photo's.
Anyway, he went and bought some vegetable tanned leather, and it works a treat! My mate did the design, the gluing, the original belt loop stitching and the three studs you see on the sheath. I did the stitching and the final polishing.
I think it turned out relatively well. You will also notice the makers mark etching on the blade went a little better this time around. The knife is a O1 toolsteel (0.95% Carbon), full flat grind with a walnut handle, copper pins, and a copper lanyard hole.
