Actually Luke, I think the mistake turned into a more authentic look and gave it a vintage appearance! Back in the day, waste not want not was the motto, so you by accident gave yourself and old time Cobbler way to repair your sheath. Perhaps, it was cut by accident while working in the forest, didn't have the money for a new one so it had to be repaired for a few pence. Neat save my brother, totally made the video much more interesting! Thanks for your time and great movie!

Not being a leather worker I am guessing the lesson learned would be to put the hole in the flap first then mark for the stud. See it was a learning tool you did for all the people watching.

The Cold Steel tomahawks are made in Taiwan… hence the metric allen screw. I am engaged in a similar project, except I had the screw hole welded closed and am going to mirror-finish the head, then use a bluing pen to decorate the blade sides with Norse dragons. I stole that idea from some dude online. His looked good. My leather sheath is considerably smaller… just a strap and an edge protector, all heavy saddle leather saddle-stitched after gluing. I use a Dremel tool to drill through many layers of pre-glued saddle leather and a pliers to pull the needle through. There are as many ways to do this sort of thing as there are artisans, and that is a happy thing. No KZitem videos… couldn't anyway… it takes me weeks to complete a project like this.

I just stole your pattern for the sheath… not for the Norse Hawk, but for a francisca I have. THANKS! It is a good pattern. I'll just use leather strips to attach it instead of a stud. Incidentally, this is coming from someone who has been doing high-end leatherwork for almost 40 years. Your raw designing genius transcends any lack of training in leather craft.

Removing doesn't affect the steel mate , the steel will generate a patina over time . If it gets wet , i dry it with a sleeve . If steel rusts there's only one thing to blame .. yourself .

@Lunumbrus
9 жыл бұрын
You might be surprised, (and this is a really late response,) but directionality on the belt can actually go either way, depending. From what I know, when you're removing material with rough grits, you'll face the edge into the belt to remove metal, whereas when using finer grits for polishing and honing, you'll face the edge away from the belt travel, to take advantage of adhesive metal transfer to the edge. That's just what I've learned from knife sources, on maintaining a sharp edge for cutting with a knife. Dunno if it applies to axes.
@WhiskeyRichard.
9 жыл бұрын
Lunumbrus Hey dude, better late than never. Thanks for the reply. To be honest, that could be true, I'd be interested in the reason. In sharpening what I've learnt is that you want to sharpen the blade in such a fashion that you're "shaving" the stone with the knife, hence edge against. To my understanding, this is because if you sharpen in the other direction, rather than filing down to a shear tip (of course assuming the metal is hard and brittle enough), you essentially deform the edge. Getting down to the finer grits, a microfine filament of metal forms along the otherwise razor edge of the instrument, whether knife or axe. The best way to remove this burr as it flops from side to side would then be stropping, which on the contrary to polishing, improves the knife edge by removing that filament by fatigue, thus leaving a razor-sharp edge. Are there specific benefits to sharpening with the grit? Does it differ between a whetstone vs an angle grinder vs a belt?
@Lunumbrus
9 жыл бұрын
Whiskey Richard Honestly, I don't know much about it. The only times I use the technique is when I'm using a 1000+ grit sandpaper hone on a mousepad, so I can't make much of a comparison. I did find I agreed with you when it comes to hard substrates, but then I see people getting good results on clamped systems by just scrubbing the edge back and forth with the guided stones. This would lead me to believe it might have something to do with the mechanical action of the knife in hand as it's sharpened. Perhaps shaving edge-first on hard substrates delivers more consistent bite for the stone? Maybe it lets us feel the edge better. I'm still not sure.
