Ah a Gents Glimpse, must be nice, as for the Sebenza thick handled,
probably not THICK as some might say, but filling, not too slim
I guess is what I was meaning
but it's a nice shot of that Glimpse though...

You know what I need to do, Gary. I should buy your old knife (the Stretch) and hold it hostage for the day when you come to your senses and regret selling it for that scruffy old Ironwood Seb. Then I'll have you.

Dallas is funny she's sold this morning, albeit a little less than I needed but I want
to pay my friend back asap!

and Molly, it's a braided piece of soft leather, the bead is a custom one
made of micarta, a red spacer and some Mammoth Ivory

To make it, you slip the leather through the hole, on one side, cut a slit running
the pararell to the sides about as long as the leather is wide, then spaced
a little further another slit.

Then insert the one side through the first cut slit
pull the leather up so it's as tight as you want it to be, for me so it would slip
around in front and get cut by the blade.
THEN you make two slits on the other side, similar to the first two slits and just
alternate in and out of the slits.

The bead, I have a wedge of leather stuck between the leather braid and it wedges
tight into the bead so it doesn't slip any further down, works great!

I'll get some shots of how this is done an make a thread in the leather section tonight
