I started leatherwork in the mid nineteen eighties because I had a bunch on nice knives with crappy sheaths.  So I have been doing leatherwork for the last 27 years or so. For the last twenty-five I have been doing a lot of medieval type leatherwork although I still do modern stuff.  Primarily as a hobby although I will occasionally make something for sale.  I know this is long winded but it hopefully tells you I know a bit about leatherwork.  I find your work top notch.  You tooled the back of the sheath.  (Al Shelton who made leather products for the rich and famous (such as Gene Autry) would decorate the inside of his belts because if your paying for custom work it should show.). Anyone who sees this sheath will know it was hand crafted.  You hand sewed the sheath.  Once again showing your interested in making the best sheath possible.  And while I know and do most of what you showed I learned a bit from you about using the paints and antiquing.   I know that his is a bit long winded but hopefully others less versed in the mysteries of leather will read it and be moved to subscribe and like to improve their own leatherwork

Fantastic work, as a knife maker and leather worker, it's the best I've seen. From Ireland 🇮🇪

You are a true artist and your work is definitely 'next' level. Thanx for the great inspiration, Sam

awesome work! the colouring is amazing and the whole sheath of course too....watch the whole video. greets from Vienna/Austria

this is not tutorial - this is work of art

Im brand new to this but this guy seems masterful at this craft. Amazing vid. Thanks for sharing this!

Awesomeness at its finest, I would not evn know how to put a price on such a thing of expressiveness, well done.

dude out of all the sheath videos on YT, your sheath might be the best. Cheers

I'm also a leather crafter for about 3 decades now, and it continues to facinate me how a simple piece of leather can be transferred into something so beautiful

As an artist, that was just so pleasant to watch...

Very nice work !
I’ve just started leather smithing and videos like yours help us newbies pick up tricks and techniques. Thanks for posting

I started working with leather because of this video. You’re the man!

Bravo l’ARTISTE Magnifique

Man, that is some beautiful work!

As a novice at leatherwork i have to say that I'm thrilled to have stumbled on to this video! I only hope to be this good one day. For now i will probably watch this several more times to glean every bit of info possible from it. I am hopeful to make a similar sheath for my brother as my next project and this is my inspiration to do that!! ❤❤❤

Next level work... artistry at its finest.

After watching these videos I feel like getting back into leather work. I made quite a few knife sheets and I also made the blades. I only made about five holsters. The holsters then I made did not look as good as this man's. I love videos like this.

I don't know I will ever become as skilled as you. But this looks like such satisfying work! I think I'm going to start with a sheath for my cold steel shovel. Lots of room for designs. Thankyou for this awesome video and most of all thank you for this inspiration!

This is a work of Art

fantastic work.  a lot of good techniques used during the process which will help me in the future.
