I'll bring it by, I'm working up a black sheath for it that will hopefully work out well.Dang that looks sweet! I may have to hold that before it's goes to it's new home
So clean and crisp, most excellent, John!The etcher and stencil maker have been game changers.

I sure hope you kept the blueprints for this one. I absolutely need one.Sheaths done. I'll be grinding pocket blades and Campers as soon as this one is complete. More in where this one is going later

Glad you mentioned that, this design was born on the grinder, I never had anything drawn up.I sure hope you kept the blueprints for this one. I absolutely need one.

Very appropriateAcross his chest in scabbards rest
The rows of throwing knives
Whose razor points in challenged tests
Have finished many lives
Great looking work, John!!Wasn't happy with the original sheath. Made a new one.

The tip of the blade has a very slight upsweep to it and was causing it to catch every once in a while. Normal sheathing didn't cause it but if you hit it at a certain angle it would catch, that would bother the daylights out of me if it were mine. I know reworking sheaths doesn't get knives out quicker, but at least you get the peace of mind that I'm a stubborn arsehole!
I don't, that's something I've been meaning to build for a long time, I could really use one. I either clamp the excess welt in the vise and stitch, or put a boning tool in the vise and put the sheath onto that to secure it.Great looking work, John!!
Do you use a stitching pony?
