Hey Guys,
I just got a blade blank w/handle from Andy so now I can more accurately fit keeper straps. Thanks Andy!! If you have ordered a sheath from me, please email or PM me and let me know that you want or down want a keeper strap. I'm emailing/Pm'ing everyone that has a sheath shipping this weekend, but would like to here from everyone else also. That way no one is left behind.
Just so you know, Andy's handles are hand shapped so there will be some variation from one knife to the next. So if the keeper strap isn't perfect, I'm sorry. I'm fitting the keeper strap tight to the handle Andy sent me. Hopefully if there is an issue it's because the keeper strap is to small. To fix that, you remove the keeper strap, run hot water over the strap and fit it back to the handle and sheath. It will stretch to fit.
I'll update my website and the order thread when I get the chance. Right now, I need to finish sewing a ton of sheaths so they can be mailed tomorrow morning.
