Thanks for reposting this, Jamie-
I cannot even count the number of times that I watched this video when I made my first few sporrans! I never tire of seeing this.

It takes quite a while to learn the art of properly sharpening a round knife! And it was also a good demonstration of the 2-needle stitching style which I prefer. He makes it look too easy, though.
Too true

I've been dying to make a set of these since I first saw this video, and I STILL haven't gotten around to it. I love the style, and the fact they're so rarely seen today (except for on vintage pieces)
