Ah, thanks for the intel, good sir! Please permit me to ask three more questions:

What weight leather did you used for this project?

The blade I intend to make a sheath for is high carbon, and not the stainless kind. Should I wrap the blade in plastic wrap while doing the molding (I assume that the blade has to stay in the sheath while it sets up, but perhaps not)?

Did you complete the sewing first, and molding after (I assume once again, but wanted to ask anyway)?

Thanks a million!

And to the moderators- Terribly sorry for the threadjack. I vow to leave this matter in peace, after my next post.
