This one is for me. I finally got caught up on sheaths and while I was waiting for some information on the next batch of five sheaths I have to do, I made this one.

Comments and criticisms are always welcome.

Nice work TF.....I really like that ML too. Your sheath goes with it nicely. Great color.
 
I have to tell you - I REALLY like that ML knife too. It is the length of an Aurora, which I normally think is a bit long - but it isn't clumsy at all. It is sharp, stays sharp, and holds its edge.

I ordered two more knives from ML immediately after seeing he makes a Kephart. I have matching Kepharts coming from him for my brother and I and I have a Kephart Companion coming for myself.

I am PSYCHED!

Kind regards

you put out some of the nicest leather work i have ever seen let alone sheaths, looks amazing tf
 
Mick,

Sent you a visitors message back.


All,

THanks for the comments. They really mean a lot. I am seeing my work get better, but I am also seeing my time per sheath increase. I think this will meet a sort of trade off point where I am putting out quality I am happy with but being as efficient as I can.

The Chuck Burrow's video really showed me a few things to make myself more efficient.

I like the Blade and sheath as a set, the set is looking good and the wood used with the blade just works for me. Your friend at the post Donald S.
 
i think that looks great sir. only simple thing i would request would be for a fire steel loop since its for a woods knife

again beautiful work sir
 
I can always put a firesteel loop on my sheaths - but I carry it in my bag rather than my knife most times.

Besides, I think with this knife being a little more 'period' in feel - I think the modern firesteel loop is a bit much. But that is me.

it won't let me pm you sir but i was curious could you make or do you make one for a bark river bravo 1 w/out the thumb ramp with a fire steel loop. i really like the looks of your sheaths. email me if you would like at patricktraphagan1981 @ yahoo dot com. from the sounds of it your a very busy man and might not have time and if not i understand.

again great sheath sir
 
I have five to make to get caught up. However, I can always squeeze one in as I have time for former military. ESPECIALLY if that grunt means USMC.

Semper fi,

TF
