TS_P09: Leather Construction 101 - Tooled Pocket Knife Sheath Workshop

Build a pocket knife sheath that's made to go wherever you do! In this hands-on leatherworking workshop, you'll create a versatile leather sheath designed to securely carry a folding pocket knife while giving you multiple ways to wear it. The finished sheath can be carried horizontally or vertically on a belt and can also attach to a backpack strap, making it a practical everyday project rather than something that just looks good sitting on a shelf.

Along the way, you'll learn several foundational leatherworking skills, including basic leather tooling and stamping, pattern and piece layout, punching stitching holes, saddle stitching, edge finishing, dyeing and finishing, and installing hardware. You'll also learn how the different layers and attachment points work together to turn flat pieces of leather into a durable, functional sheath. You'll have room to customize the tooling and finish so your sheath feels like your own. No previous leatherworking experience is required, and all materials are included.

Age: Recommended for ages 17 and up.
