You're raising the bar Brian. I knew you were a winner from the first. I hope it does not make a big difference to you but these knives (at least for now) are going to Spercial Forces Alpha in Afganistan.

Very nice work Brian, whoever recieves it will be one lucky soldier. ;)

Way to go Brian! Those are fantastic, very professional job. That's going to make one soldier very pleased with you.
 
Really nice work :cool:
Thats going to mean a lot to someone over there on top of being such a great tool
 
I am happy with the way these turned out. I know if I am diging these so will the end user!
Where ever this one ends up I am going to attach my email address to the sheath so I hope to hear from the new owner. Now to make a sheath thats worthy! ...I hope:)~
 
Man do I love the shape of the handles on all your knives. They look like they fit and flow just right. Nice temper lines too. Great job.

Have you thought about one of the aftermarket tactical sheaths Brian? I ask because they're set up well for connection to all sorts of equipment, and safe (presumably) for jumping. Your blade looks like it'd fit a typical sheath well. Just a thought, I know you do great leather work.
 
I was thinking about a nyon webbing that will attach to kydex via chicago screws. Throw in a length of webbing so the recipient can cut a length for whatever they need.
What do you think?
 
Sounds like that would work fine. If you have them, you can install eyelets for a leg tiedown and in other places for additional tiedowns. I think when it comes to attachment points, the more the merrier. :D
 
Include a note with any of your comments to arrive with the knife and also YOUR EMAIL address and name. They like that big time. You will be contacted by the recipient, for sure. They are dissapointed when contact info is not included. I would be too. Tell about the knife, how it was made, what steel and other things.
