I like to tie off with a surgeons knot on the back side a couple of holes from the bottom. I think it protects the knot better.
Cut the tag ends at least 1/8" long.

I cobbled around on a few of these in the past, they worked but wasn’t much to look at. And today I learn that you should use a spacer!
Re: Lets make a sheath for a baby antler handle knife.
Yes, a spacer helps to prevent cutting the stitches when the knife goes in and out.

Now lets put a little touch on this little guy.
Usung the acrylic finish, I paint on two coats on the feather detail.
I wait about 2 hours between coats and let it dry overnight.

Well the resist is dry enough to touch so I'll trim the edge and the bottom .
Then I use an edge skiver to bevel the edges.

Where do you get your leather supply?

Now line up the keyhole punch on the spot and the blade straight and parallel on the strap.
