yesterday I attended a 'leather workshop" and made my first leather sheath. :cool:
Thanks to the help and knowledge of Jürgen Duttenhöfer I crafted this with his tools and materials and under his supervision in about 7 hours (my hands are still aching).
I like the knife a lot better now and think this one should really come with a leather sheath straight from the factory (do you hear me, Sal? :D ) .. the Street Beat looks sooo nice in it.

Hey, that is your first sheath? Fantastic....and soo german. I recently got a Street Beat and happen to like the Spyder Sheath but your sheath has a warm and more...organic feel. Super stiching.
The sheath was made from calf leather (outer layer) and nubuck leather (inner layer) and waxed nylon thread was used for the stitching. Tomorrow I will treat the sheath with some SnowSeal for protection.
Hmm, I guess a lanyard is mandative for this setup. Any suggestions?

That is beautiful work, and totally awesome as a first effort at sheath making. It certainly compliments the Street Beat well. You can be very proud of your creation. I am sure it will give you many years of faithful service.
I fancy that sheath, and the knife for that matter.. I don't think I could carry that thing around though. Out here in Los Angeles County (where I work).. probably a bad idea :eek: I like the contrast of the light stitching and the dark leather.
