Bill out here just casually killing it on his BDay......NBD!Bruh, I didn’t do the sentiment justice in the text earlier. I don’t just “like” it, I’m sleeping with it tonight.Seriously bro, it’s primo…as are you.
Best,
MC
@duramax Bill, the Shiv 2.0 is on my very “short list” of all-time favorite fixed blades (#2 actually). The new Shiro is my favorite folder, thus far.
Well, let’s talk about leather, shall we. If today, shit hit the fan and I could only run out the door with 2 knives, one would be ridin’ dirty in this sturdy and gorgeous sheath. I absolutely love everything about it.
You amaze me sir. Careers in LE and EMS, amazingly kind human being, and MASTER LEATHER SPANKER !?! You are amazing brother !!! Thank you.

Yeah, the shark skin is amazing. He's made a shark skin sheath for my Hossom as well, so you don't have to wait for him to put something in the shop. Chad is great.

, I hope you like black n blue for your FK3. I feel like the yellow-ish VIPM scales will pop w/ what I have in mind….If not, we’ll be needing to talk to
Jo the Machinist
, now won’t we ??? 
Nathan the Machinist
had asked for someone to shut me the eff up !!! TRUE STORY. 
yes. yes they do.

‘s water buffalo w/ ray skin inlay FK3 sheath. Truth be known, I despise working with water buffalo due to it being very stretchy and difficult to cut, groove, mold, or burnish. 
…don’t thank me yet brother. Still plenty of time to screw it up !Wow! Michael this is beyond what I was hoping for, a huge THANK YOU!! Your work has progressed nicely I’m very honored to have one of your first sheaths so I get to compare the two
Fortunately for both of us, a couple of Jedi Masters will coach me up on the unknowns. 
Great sheath. I wish I had ordered 2.

your inlay is officially stitched in. It’ll be another “2 weeks” until she’s done so hang in there buddy !

It’s amazing how rejuvenating a strong IPA and few hours of sleep can be !The young one has become the master (in two weeks), at least that’s what I see from here
Pierce county (mine) was the first to be mopped up and then we poured bodies North. It was a doozy, for sure.

‘s FK3 sheath. Doing a tapered and “Loveless cam lock style” welt in order to accomplish solid retention in the sheath.
If you keep on posting all these pictures of your work, I guess i know what your your going to be doing this winterNOT working tonight. So…made a little progress on
I realize that monopolizing this thread can be annoying…That said, the great man that I’m making the sheath for asked for WIP posts. Also, I’m learning while doing and pretty frickin’ excited about it….so, if you’re annoyed, deal with it, Sally !
