It took ages and it isn’t amazing. But I finished the first one. Next one will be stitched up in the flat instead of the edge.
If anyone knows of a good way to do that let me know.

Longtime no see!
When I go larping I usually bring at least one chefs knife. Until now it had just been wrapped in paper and making tape, but no more. After having made one more camping chefs knife, I am making sheaths for them. Wood core with leather cover.
