Nice work, ITHAF. You must have huge pockets. A knife that large goes on my belt!
Glad to see you found the sunlight, GSOM. ;-)
Lookin' good!
Daizee, you might consider trying 5.11's pants. Nice large pockets, and other pockets in all kinds of useful places, ripstop, teflon treated for stain resistance, and, IMO very comfortable. In case you wanted to fit a fixed blade knife in your pocket...
check and see if your local tractor supply sells heating coal -- the nut sized stuff should be about perfect for forging.
Looking good, GSOM.
Too fancy for us plain folk here in New England.but very nice.
hey gsom, what wood is that? looks neat!
Besides the other mods which look great GSOM, That edge though, Daaaamn.

Finally made a better pocket sheath for my SYKCO 311... this thing has been in my pocket since the day it showed up. I made a quick and dirty sheath for it that has performed valiantly for a couple years now, but as with anything it was starting to show some wear and tear as it wasnt made as an end all be all kinda thing. SO! I knocked this thing out yesterday... Not the best but I dont think its too bad for having no idea what I am doing and no leather working tools. LOL I just started cutting, sewing, and waxing and here we go!
Square shaped pocket slip sheath, beeswax impregnated leather, welt sewed "proud", and two tethering holes in the bottom for a "static line" to run through a belt, or can be worn as a neck knife. Also left the interior space and welt sort of ambiguous so that it could fit other knives/things I would just have to reform it. It'll do until finally I get around to getting something more proper made for it.
The new and the old.
Think this will work...

Now that you see what katalox looks like finished, maybe a little scale action for a large kiridashi?
Nice looking sheath, IWHAF. Though I agree with daizee - I couldn't carry it in my pocket. Mostly because my oversized rear end makes pocket carry of ANY knife difficult.
