I make edged cutting devices out of 6 - 4 titanium. No leather but I will probably make kydex / concealex sheaths at so point. I have forged metal for my ex-job as a millwright but it was limited to parts making or fixing. I am not an official old dude yet but considered disabled by GM standards.
I just have started to do this myself. Lots of fun, almost as fun as building an ARBuy blade blanks and add handles and then make sheath for them. Is old guys have too much time on our hands I guess. View attachment 216638 Yep
