Here is were I will try and show how I do a full nickel silver sheath...Hope you enjoy it and have fun trying this project.

First you will need to make a Blank of the blade you are making a sheath for I am using 1/4" mild steel which works better,but you can use any hardwood also...You will need to make a second piece as a backing to hold the metal in place without marring it.

Now using .025 or .032 or .040 thick nickel silver (Brass will work also) draw around your pattern then draw a line at least 1/4 inch wider than the blank on the Nickel silver but leaving the point straight and even with the point itself on the drawing.You will need to make two halves for this step,do one side of the blank then turn it over and do this step on the other piece,this gives you both halves of the sheath..Now after cutting this out you will need to make sure it is annealed,you can do this by heating it to a red color and quenching it in water.

Now put your main knife blank on the inside of the piece of NS and the holding steel form on the outside and clamp it in a vice.If you don't think it will hold all the pieces together in the vice alone then add a couple of "C"Clamps to the steel that is hanging on the outside of the vice.

Now I use a block of wood and a small hammer to roll the edges ( sides ) of the sheath over.I start at one end and work to the other,I I figure that it is easier and causes les wrinkles or waves in the sheath material.
