Bear,
Those are really cool. Thanks for the link to Leatherface, the quickdraws look interesting. I would like to get a traditional South American leather one at some point. My family has cabins on a lake up in Ontario and there has always been a machete hanging on the wall, complete with a thick, decorative leather sheath that always makes me think of my Grandpa. My grandfather was an interesting man, he went to Yale forestry school and than worked for a lumber company exploring the tributaries of the amazon (talk about some amazing pics, gotta get them from my aunt!). In any case, I don't believe the machete had anything to do with my Grandfather (he died long before I was born of a mosquito-borne illness he picked in the jungle), but I used to look at that machete and imagine my Grandfather's adventures when I was little, so there is some nostalgia there.... If Pict can't hook us up, I'll have to talk to L-face or Ilbruche!
