    First Stamped sheath- Skeletool CX

    Hello,

    Few pics of my first stamped sheath for my Skeletool CX. i wanted a compact sheath with belt carrie and neck carrie option so heres what i made.

    so far its not sewn or dyed as i'm still pondering on the colours.





    The edges are not quite dry as yet which i had to case over again to add the stamping on the edge and flats of the moulded parts (last min change of plan)

    All comments welcome

    You should continually stamp the sheath like you did on the sheath-mouth. That would look better IMHO.
    Edit: I meant uniform and not continually

    The rest of the sheath looks a-ok to me. I like the color too. A little bit of finishing to the edges (those word by me - I am a lousy finisher) + sewing and it is done respectivly first sewing and then finishing.

    Looks good to me, but as has been said : better a uniform stamping across the whole sheath surface, makes for a nicer look. Well done.
