The leather is dyed.  Snaps are applied and the lining is cemented and sewn in place.  Final assembly and sewing is performed.  I use a table model hand operated leather sewing machine for a professional appearance.  The project is wetted with water and hand formed around the knife.  This gives the sheath a custom fit appearance to its knife.  All edges are burnished smooth.  Dye touchup is performed, if needed.  The project is hand waxed with high quality leather wax.  Final inspection is performed.</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id43.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="EXAMPLES OF OUR SHEATHS:"><U><U>EXAMPLES OF OUR SHEATHS:</U></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id44.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="EXAMPLE OF SHEATH CUT FROM HIDE:"><U><U>FABRICATION PICTURES:</U></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <U> <img src="HTMLobj-577/aniGif.gif" border="0" align="bottom" width="67" height="50">  </U></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
