Bill,

Question, USAF Aircrew Knife issued to me in 1989 - OAL 9-3/8" Blade 4-3/4" Width at Belly 1-1/8" Width at Choil 1-7/8" (Top finger guard was long ago filed off on the advice of some PJ's but bottom is original)

Your best guess...would we have a fit? I don't know much about wet forming but would like to learn.

Thank you,

Hello mako20ft, I have a another sheath already made that I think would be a better fit, same design. E-mail me for pics and details. Would be happy to share some tips on wet-forming.
Thanks, Bill

Got the sheaths today & could not be more pleased. I just sent you an email to order another one for my Dad. Also, hope it was okay, gave your email to my brother. He needs a couple of sheaths for some hunting knives he takes deer hunting.
