Now I know I don`t participate much on these forums, but I am quite fonds of blades and their tools. LMIW is the supreme in nylon sheathing, just like I think Hedgehog is for leather. I had put a order for 4 LMIW pieces last November, but too late it seems....I`ve spoken to Charlier and Beth a few times up to a couple months ago and their plan was to sell the business ... it was imminent apparently. Like most here suspect, my view on the problem is that they didn`t charge enough for their sheaths. Hand-made Long-John for $65 ? Maybe from China at $1.25 an hour, but not here. No wonder it wasn`t worth it for them to keep working like crazies....They probably got sick at just looking at a sewing machine.....I made them an offer for $500 for 2 sheaths and it wasn`t good enough.
I`ll give`em a shout..
Are you serious? I might be able to help you out
