Dutch Trade Knife & Sheath

Here are some photos of a finished knife sheath that I made to accompany a customers Dutch trade knife.
It’s made in the center seam fashion, hand stitched and wet formed to the knife.
The leather is 4/5 oz veg. tanned leather, hand tooled and dyed a dark brown and treated with nests-foot oil and bee’s wax. I hand braided a hemp wang, to attach it to belt or sash.
