The idea for the additional strip of leather at the back was directly taken from the Julien M's thread and his scabbard project. Apart from purely aesthetic, I suppose the strap is tasked to avoid the direct contact between the seam and the core, and to fill all inevitable gaps it the contact area. Anyway, I think it's not a bad idea at all...... |
I think I'm beginning to understand - this is adding asthetic value, but in addition (if one floats the stitching OVER the "back piece"), it should reduce thread abrasion - no possible wood to thread contact. I'm sold... officially stealing the concept for my next project :).
Thanks to BOTH of you for a solid engineering improvement :).
