Hi Everybody,
First of all thanks everybody for the complements, they did turn out really nice, even if I do say so myself
I can do them in either style fold over or double sided.
they are the same price for either style.
here are some pros & cons about each style.
Double row of eyelets;
pro;
1.fit is not as critical (more room for the blade to move around & allows for differences in grind)
2.more lashing points
3.more eyelets to attach other knives to.
4.a little easier to fit
5.can be used as a paddle
con;
1.a lot wider than the fold over style
2. harder to make because it takes more time to drill holes & attach eyelets
Fold over single row of eyelets;
pro;
1.a lot slimmer profile (skinny)
2.a little easier to make, less eyelets = less time
3. looks nicer (personal opinion)
4. Jerry has said this of my minimalist style " they are so slim I have to make sure the sheaths fit because I think they are for smaller knives." meaning the sheaths are not much bigger that the knives.
5. sleek looking
6. can be used as a secondary weapon
con;
1. tighter fit not much wiggle room
2. harder to make because of tighter tolerances
3. less attachment points
Hope this helps out, & if I can help further please let me know here or buy e-mail.
I will be having a bunch of fun with these, so look for some cool stuff coming up.
