...He made me a freakin awesome leather sheath in return! This Busse community really astounds me. Some of you might say I'm too trusting or crazy. After a BF member and Busse collector posted a thread about interest in a new sheath maker around here, I offered to send him a few of my knives for templates. In turn, he offered to make me a sheath to return the favor. We emailed for a bit, and then he gave me his number. We spoke at length a few times and BS'd about shared interests. He suggested I send him one knife, so that he can make a sheath and upon approval of the sheath, I would or could send him more knives.
After talking to him though, I was convinced he was a straight up, very knowledgeable guy. I sent him my Skinny Ash, an HG55, a RMD and a swamp Warden. We agreed that a sheath for my Skinny would be a good starting point. Well... a few weeks later I have all 4 blades back and a beautiful, very durable and well made leather sheath.
That BF member's name is neugene. I humbly vouch for this guy as an honest, very talented sheath maker and at the very least a great new asset to the Busse community.
As we all know... this thread is worthless without the pics! :thumbup: The photos taken with my phone, really don't do the sheath justice.
