Is it pay taxes or buy more leather? I decided to try something I had on hand already plus it was free.
I had done some heat treating a few months back for a fellow local bladesmith, Alan Warren http://www.alanwarrenknives.com/ Alan had asked for away to pay me back that wouldn't involve money and the idea of him making a sheath came up. I'd just kind of let slip away until Alan called me yesterday and he mentioned doing a sheath for me again so I took him up on the offer. He said he didn't even mind doing one for a big blade so that's what he will get. Alan makes a much nicer sheaths than I do so I'm looking forward to seeing what he comes up with. I'll be leaving in the morning for the Oregon Show and didn't want to take this big ole blade wrapped up in a blanky so I went with cardboard. I did use leather for the welt. Surprisingly it feels pretty sturdy.
