Clarity multiplied by 1000!

This book is amazingly clear. That's great. It covers the basics and gives clear instructions for making four straight sheaths. I can't recommend it highly enough. Once I get a handle on these projects I will definitely be buying the later volumes.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • High Price

Nothing for a beginner.

I am a blademaster and new to scabbard making. I bought this first book to start making sheaths for my knives. The real problem I have with this book is that all measurements are based on the metric system. They try to convert, but instead of using 1/8 or 3/4 they use a converted unit of measure, maybe 0.034, which is very confusing. The wording and instructions are also not in layman's language. I may keep this book when I get some experience under my belt, but for now I'll be looking for…

Pros
  • Durable test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Probably one of the best leather books I've ever seen. I have about a dozen books and they are all behind this one. The instructions are clear (finally a book with detailed color photos, step by step). From the design to the finishing touches. This book is great not only for knife sheaths but I will be using it to make my leather tool sheaths. I just want all the books to have color photos (we live in the 21st century but black and white books still exist) with detailed step-by-step…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion
