W ere do u get those brass screws I'll do a brief write up when I get home from work today.... I don't remember the part numbers off-hand? Unfortunately my modification wasn't as simple as just swapping hardware. I opened up the diameter by counterboring for my chamfered washers, and went...

Nathan the Machinist ONE off.

Kepharts are great. I hope soon to see just how much cheese curd this thing will bash through

Hey Crag. Did your stock leather sheath still fit?

I especially like that you’ve aligned the screw slots, an increasingly rare touch on a variety of objects.

I assume so? Not sure I remember...... I'll try to find the sheath tonight, if I still have it around?

I was able to find some brass straight slot screws with nuts today. I think I might go with some zombie green kydex liners. I don't have that yet.

Haha.... I almost put zombie green liners on a nice little knife with ebony scales I was making LAST NIGHT.

but I chickened out and went with black.

Dang good looking knife!

I found my original leather sheath..... It would fit if I shoved it in tight. It definitely would with generous coatings of a good oil.
Leather is pliable

Obviously it's fit is more Snug than without the added shim stock.

I’m way late to this party. Yes, Kepharts just work. Time and again my straight handle knives have provided the most versatile and functional user experiences. Kepharts are just timeless. Cheers y’all!

Beautiful knife. Not flashy, just functional. That's kinda the way I am. I dress in earth tones. You might even say I'm drab.

That's what I'm afraid of with mine. I don't have a backup sheath. I've never done it but could I wet form it after I add the liners?

It was an Ontario butcher knife I cut down and added a jute wrap the handle.
