first wallet

[denalidave]

Here is a first go at a wallet. The slim pouch next to the EDC knife pouch is for either a USB stick or an EDC pen.

Really good. I'm not a leather worker and so am interested to understand how you get the holder in the shape of the knife.

Didn't realise Mrs Ehecatl had been to the south west recently (no large demoniation notes anywhere to be seen in the wallet!)

Great job,

Thanks everyone, really appreciate your comments. The leather is veg tan, must be around 1-1.5mm thick. It feels strong and durable. I used walnut dye with carnauba cream finish.I wet molded the leather around the knife. I got the leather from a local leatherworker, its good to have her as a friend as it means I can get smallish pieces of leather rather than having to buy entire hides. She is also highly skilled and I have tried to learn as much as I can from her! If anyone is local to me(south Devon) you can visit her shop in Cockington court. Her shop isn't open right now but her website is up and business as usual.The shop will be open again very soon. Cockington Court also has a blacksmith and glass blowing along with other local crafts, you can usually watch the craftsman at work.

I am not affiliated with her in any way! I think its important to try and promote local crafts people though.

The knife is this one-

Not the best in the world by a long way but it feels well made and it was a cheap folder and thin which met both my requirements.

If anyone is interested in making the same sort of thing I found this knife after which also looks like it would work-

Lovely wallet, I'll try one for my SAK.

[Tigger004]

Very nice indeed, just don't leave the knife in if you're flying, I had 30 secs to hide mine under my loose change and keys

[AdrianRose]

Great bit of work there fella. Very good indeed.

What thickness leather did you use.

Ade.
