Make a cover for your hook knife / spoon knife - edge protection - basic leather working.

Here's how I make simple edge covers for my hook knives. I'm making a batch of them for some new hooks I bought for an upcoming workshop. I am using veg-tan offcuts for this, you don't need a big piece of leather. If you're not comfortable buying leather, I've had acceptable results using repurposed leather from old bags, shoes, belts, etc. The sheaths are cut out in an L shape, (in the video I make a left handed one, the right handed ones are just mirrored). They then get folded and saddle stitched, and a hole punched for a tie string. I used kangaroo lace for this. This style of cover works well for compound hooks. For constant curve hooks, a slip on cover can be made, but it requires more stitching. Stay tuned for an upcoming video explaining and demonstrating the differences between common styles of hook knife geometry.
