Very new to leather work. First time trying to wet mould. I’m very happy with the result :)

The back is 2.5mm and the front is 2mm. I guess that means 4/5oz and 6/7oz?

I've been wanting to try wet molding a leatherman or pocket knife, but don't have the right thickness at the moment...

Here's a couple thicker (7-9 oz) sheaths I've wet molded that I'm really happy with!

Ah that’s cool! Did one of the image links not render? I can only see the Gomboy one.
