Big sell-off on ebay (sheaths only)?

(sorry if mobile friendly only) - I wondered if anyone else has taken notice of this auction of over 100 custom sheaths? Rjfritz01 is auction sellar. Here is the reply to an inquiry i sent:

Hi David - these are all original sheaths. I acquired them from the estate of a custom knife collector. The family kept the knives, but didn't want the sheaths. Ron

- rjfritz01

Strange decision.

Mostly generic styling. Very little of what I would determine actually custom, but in the sense they were made one at a time and perhaps for a specific knife, then the custom definition would be technically correct.

The real catch will be to get a really good fit on a given knife.

That link does not appear to me to be a legitimate E-Bay site.

By the looks of it, someone had alot of D'Holders.

I emailed the man when I was looking for Fike's. He has no knives too bad.

Too bad the family doesn't realize that the value of those knives will be considerably less without their original sheaths.:thumbdn:

I vaguely remember making that sheath, it was for a bowie style and the stud was per the customers request.
