adam, don't you have a motivational poster to post up? 

The BladeForums.com 2024 Traditional Knife is ready to order! See this thread for details:
https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/bladeforums-2024-traditional-knife.2003187/
Price is $300 $250 ea (shipped within CONUS). If you live outside the US, I will contact you after your order for extra shipping charges.
Order here: https://www.bladeforums.com/help/2024-traditional/ - Order as many as you like, we have plenty.
I used to ziptie the knife into the sheath for wrapping but now I wrap the blade in a rag and chock it into a vice. Not for safety but just because I can get the wrapping tighter, but it is safer. My last was sharpening a machete.........bad memories....:barf:
Dave- I hate to be "that guy" but wheres the photos of the finished wrap?I generally try to wrap mine in a manner that the pressure will never hit toward the blade if it slips. some wraps thats not possible, but I like the simple double strand/color weave I do for that reason. For the final knot I'm usually setup to be pulling down with the point of the blade/sheath in my gut/crotch. I'm sure you were being very cautious, but with the amount of izula bites from this, it's something to look into closer and see if it's always the same part causing the popouts. (i spent a little too much time working in the safety dept)
I have an Izula coming either tomorrow or Monday, it will be headed to the vise when it gets wrapped & that's a promise.
Be safe.
What color was the cord when you started, we know it ended up red.![]()
A mistake was made on the shipping. Some may arrive postage due or be shipped back to me. All of the CONUS packages are in the mail. If you ordered more then one your order will be fine. It's the people who ordered one that I made a mistake on. I clicked the wrong option for shipping on the USPS website. If they arrive postage due you can pay it and contact me and I will refund you what you had to pay. If it gets sent back to me I will get it back in the mail ASAP.
Uh oh, my order was a single XL and we're up in the mountains for the holiday weekend right now. I'm afraid it will be coming back your way, Mrs. SWe'll be back on Monday afternoon and I'll let you know if there's anything waiting. Sorry to hear about the mix up, hope it all sorts out ok.
I'm sure it will work out. Let me know asap what happens with yours.
