Finally someone uses the bottle opener at the same time as the paint can pry bar!

For stronger stitching, you can tie an overhand knot each time you pass the needles through the leather. Also, I wonder if a little thinner leather would be a little easier, but I'm sure you chose the thickness you wanted for a robust sheath. Nice job.

Now I see why Kydex is so popular. Whew. Leather working is another lifelong skill to master like learning a musical instrument. Compliments to the guitar player btw. Nice addition.

That's a very nice quick release belt strap.

Very nice, lots of work, no wonder leather craftsmen get the prices they get!!

Your daughter walking slow during the sped up part which made her walk in normal time made me lol.

Verry nice steath. I can feel, that you love what you do. One little remark: don't touch the steath with the drill chuck 😊. Best wishes from Germany

Big shout out to the videographer who makes these videos so much more enjoyable to watch than the typical diy videos!

Great craftmanship

You know, given the production value 19,500+ subscribers just isn't fair. You're making what could pass as a tv show. A beautiful piece again I look forward to seeing more.

Very good clip!

I have always watched videos and given my likes or dislikes but never have I commented. Today watching this video, I got a feel as if I am sitting beside you and watching it at close distance. Not from this field but still liked your openness of sharing your craft.

Nice job. I’m going to have to do one for my Bob. I love to see I’m not the only one that uses a drill press and a fork!!! Sometimes I also use a petty paws Dremel to also drill holes!! Lol

Whatever it takes Brandon... haha

I've done half dozen or so sheaths like that one. I used gum trag on a few of them but never really got what I wanted from the edge so I made my own edge burnish compound. I used half beeswax (melted) and half olive oil. Let that harden and it makes a softer beeswax. I use that on all my edges now and it makes a really smooth edge with decent gloss. It is soft enough that the friction from my slicker really makes it sink into the edge. On the saddle stitching, a good rule of thumb for sheaths with a welt are at least four times the stitch length but I usually go four and one-half just to prevent working with short thread near the end, however, it is not difficult if thread comes up short to backstitch two, bury the thread and then start again in the last hole. On some projects like brief cases, where the thread would have to be way too long, I always keep the length manageable and then start again where needed. Nice job on this and your knife looks great. I missed the video on that so I'll go back and find it.

Great job ,sifu master !👏👏👏👍

Great work...really excellent. Yes, please add a Firesteel video.

Nice work. Finishing stitches, try making a knot and then pulling it back into the leather out of sight. Old sword makers did that on scabbards.

Beautiful brother

I love it when I watch a leather working video and see something new! I'm gonna have to add a fork or two to my tool kit!

A true example of " if there's a will there's a way" lol using a fork for stitching space and oh I don't have a skiving knife so I'll just use this fat Bush Knife lol love it

Nice ! Thanks

One video. THIS sheath. Now I am a subscriber. Simply magnificent.

Wow very nice

Great work

Outstanding video ... thanks

Very nice sheath and work.

Excellent. I learned a few things that I've been wondering about for years.

Damn that is a good looking sheath and knife combo.

Very well done

Very nice 👌

This is REAL close to how I made mine. Of course, your video is WAY better- as I comment every dang time, your camera person ROCKS!

VERY nice build! Love that Gum Tragacanth! Good stuff! I'd be willing to bet that most folks have NO idea how much work goes into making a custom sheath! I have been following your videos for several years and have learned a lot! BTW, I love how you use normal things to accomplish what you need to do! I also loved the daughter photo bombs!

Beautiful leather work. Thanks for sharing.

Really love your work!! Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you for your insight that's pretty cool having equipment right there.🕶"

Thank you for taking the time to show this process to us. One of the best sheath videos I've seen. The camera person did a good job too. Shop zombies can also be helpful at times.

Gorgeous craftsmanship my friend.

That is an AWESOME sheath! It's like you read my mind with the fire stick holder..

Great vid, excellent description of the step by step instructions

Love it thanks for sharing.

Really good stuff! This might have been your best project and outcome! Thanks for your effort.

، good job my friend

Awesome sheath!I love it!

Seriously excellent job man! Love how people can share their skills on KZread and inspire us to step up our game. Thx

Great video. Clearly made with a lot of love (the sheath too). Thanks for taking the time to include every step.

Hey Dustin just wanted you to know i enjoy your videos. After watching you nake the bushcraft knife sheath you inspired me to give it a shot to make a sheath for a knife i have that desperately needed one. Thanks again

Dustin thank you very much for the great video. Very instructional, excellent work.

Great Channel.

The sheath looks really nice. Enjoy watching you work too. You have a great channel.

Wonderfully done!

I didn’t know there was so much art in leather!

Never thought about pressing the fire steel layers down to fit in the welt, nice job. Leatherworking is so easy, the challenge is taking the careful steps to make it look nice and you nailed it.

very nice work

That knife and sheath are a beautiful, practical tool, and because you made them yourself, they are priceless works of art! There is no better feeling than having a project turn out like that.

Beautiful work! You are a true craftsman! I never realized how much work is involved in a leather sheath. I definitely want to see the fire steel video!

Dustin, great video and thank you. Have watched this video over 15 times as I'm making the sheath right now. Learn something new in the details each time viewing. Now I need to make a fire steel handle. Awesome job, thanks again. Subscribed!

The sheath really turned out nice! You make so many of the things that I also have really wanted to make. It's really nice that you show how to make things and the proper steps in the creation process. I really thank you for showing all the details. I also really like the music you play. Thanks again!

Well done sir, well done!

Super enjoyed your hand jop👍🏻❤🇦🇿

Nice, work! Love the finish of the leather. The way you integrated the firesteel was superb ive seen alot of clunky methods but this was very tidy and minimalistic.

Fascinating. Thank you for sharing your skill and knowledge... a real treat to watch. Keep up your excellent work. Good luck.

Beautiful knive and sheath! Killer beard! 🤠

I've really enjoyed watching your videos & thanks for the instructions on leather sheath work! I've watched a number of your videos and love all of them! Please show the video about your fire steel work too!

Looks awesome!

Excellent workmanship and Yes! add a vid about the firesteel. Every detail counts. Your daughter knows how to take advantage of time lapse - clever!

Well done! FireSteel video for sure

Great video Sir an thanks for the knowledge. That sheath is awesome bro !!!!!!!!

Would like to see a safety swivel snap to fire steel cord. Tight in one type of weather does not mean it stays that way if dunked into water or snow ... or other unexpected outdoor emergency situations. Love the general design & the speed ups with daughter flying by and odd camera angle shots were a nice touch. I have had a case where a pre-made leather bag came my way and I used Neat-foot compound on it to increase longevity ... but the bag simply deteriorated after 2-3 weeks. I've never used it since ... but have gone to 'Aussi' leather conditioner. [It has nothing 'synthetic' in it] so allows safe fat-stuffing leather with heat gun. Also ...It does not soak through to discolor leather when want light tan color Experiments are what it's about eh. Thank you for the video.

Nice work

thanks , beautiful work

Watching you prepare for stitching and thinking to myself I need to get a pricking iron, then I watched you pick up a kitchen fork...cracked me up. Lots of channels here have thousands of dollars in tools, you did great work without most of them, thanks for getting my creativity flowing. The dowel burnisher, wood clamp leather vise, fork pricking iron just to name a few great ideas. I am finishing up the handle scales on a Woodriver Tanto knife blank and getting ready to start the leather work in a few days, thanks for the inspiration.

Nice work. Beautiful sheath

Beautiful rig!

Excellent! The mark of a craftsman is making the work look easy; you do that!

I’m really enjoying watching your channel, I don’t know who your camera person is but it’s obvious that he or she is a talented videographer. You must have some great gear. Always in focus, Lighting is good white balance is correct, great tight detailed shots of what your doing. Also your editing skill are very good. Thank you for all the good content.

Brother Devon here: Thank you Brisket Junkie for the kind words. Dustin and I are a two person team. He makes the awesome stuff, I shoot and edit. We are trying to make clean, visually pleasing videos that allow Dustin's projects to be seen and understood. We also dont want them to be boring. LONG videos, but hopefully not boring. It's not the fastest or easiest way to make KZread videos so we are always encouraged when we receive comments like yours. Thanks!
