[Knifemaker87]

this is my first post here in the sheath section.

i have never put the time or effort into making sheaths, so i might need somebody to make me one.

My first answer is usually around 100.00 US dollars. Then I ask what kind of sheath you have in mind? Its too long for a pouch style sheath, more of a conventional sheath, Do you want stamping or inlay? Colour?

I'm willing if you are.

1st, Join the ABS if you havent already.

2nd, give me a holler about that one, I'd be more than happy to make a sheath worthy of such a knife. armoralleather-at-yahoo.com just remove the - around the at and add an @

Your doing some great work there, the future is bright indeed.

Chris, I answered your sheath question over in the Knifemaker's for sale thread by mistake. You can take a look over there if you are interested.

Chris, give Paul a call, you will never regret it, his sheaths are the best sales pitch that any knifemaker could be blessed with. This from a sheathmaker that is aware of his limitations!!!

Oh, please, Sandy.....your only "limitation" is the number of hours in the day. Same with Paul

Wow.. thanks for the response guys!

first off... i am waiting for my 3 years to be up in the ABS... a year to go.. and i can test for JS!


the blade on the knife is about 8.5 inches long... and to tell you the truth.. i dont even know what to ask for. i wanted something simple but elegant.
the knife isnt selling right now.. so i am prolly going to pull it off, get a sheath made and wait for a better time to sell it.

this is a purely monetary question.. but if i get a sheath made, for say 150.. how much of that do i add to the price of the knife?

thanks yall!

The economy is a bit slow right now, especially for big ticket luxuries. People just dont seem to be letting go. I'm seeing awfully good deals just languish on the exchange.

I think were just in a slump right now and your very wise to pull the knife temporarily instead of endless drops in price, and it might just take a nice sheath to put someone over that hump.

Best of luck! And good to hear your already in the ABS, looks like you have a bright future indeed. You cannot go wrong with Paul Long, he will put together a stunning sheath for your equally stunning knife.
