Almost ready to dye!

Almost ready to dye!

Have it all mocked up, tomorrow I finish the stitching holes! Coming out like I had it in my head, so I think that is a win!

Too thick for stitching?

Giving thought to stitching through all four pieces, it's about 14mm thick.

Secondary option is to stitch the top two and bottom two.

The layers... Top to bottom

-Rivet cover (to keep the rivet from rubbing the knife handle)

-Snap closure, wrapping around the handle

-Main sheath body

-Belt loop strap

Going to use a rivet going from the belt loop strap up through the snap closure.

(First actual complete project, big time rookie)

Idk - should I just do the rivet and only stitch the cover to the closure???

Learned my lesson

After learning my lesson about trimming the welt while it was on top of the back... The re-design is going well!

Rewet and hit again?

Can I rewet the piece and go at it again to deepen a couple of these?

Sharpening

Please confirm my understanding ... All of the shaded red area should be a flat, straight surface from the spine to the apex... Correct? Like for the smaller two blades the red should be flush with the stone.

Am I getting this correct?
