Of all of our premium CPK leather benders,
Lorien
has the leanest style. I truly appreciate that, especially on a knife you want to keep concealed, yet secured, until things go seriously sideways.I have one of his prototype sheaths for the Boot Knife. I am still awed every time I take it out.

well, shipping is going to cost more because I'll have to use Fedex instead of postal. It's the only service that allows for collect payment of any potential duties or tariff.

turned me on to this fact, for which I'm greatly grateful!the preparation of the customs forms is going to be onerous. I know of some small Canadian businesses who are just not shipping to the US at all anymore. Nearly all of my clients/people are Americans- a source of pride for me, as well as income- so I'm going to have to figure that shit out.
for now, I won't be sending anything across the border until I'm 100% sure that nobody is gonna get fucked.
If I use Canada Post, which I prefer, I need to prepay the 35% import tax for my customers, (which I'll have to collect) regardless of the fact that my product is covered by our free trade agreement. Oh, and there is another flat rate fee of $3.99 per tariffed item, plus an additional 10% of the actual tariff collected.

Amen!^ There is so much to unpack in
Despite all the governments’ induced confusion, I will continue to support Lorien for the important work that he does regardless of the red tape.

I love his sheaths so much I'll help with the red tape, or in the alternative take this offline to discuss finding competent smugglers.

I have a bunch of those sheath attachments from Sagewood to run on Pirtle and the stock kydex sheaths, never had any issues at all. I’ve even cut the tab down and drilled new holes in some to get a little higher ride height.

Very nice to know! I figured I’d give it a shot since they aren’t very expensive and having a dangler on a larger knife like the HDFK can be nice. I appreciate your feedback on it!

seeing pics of some of my earlier work sometimes makes me cringe. But I remind myself that if someone is making use of it or otherwise enjoying it, then mission accomplished
I've begun development of the second iteration of the DEK1 sheath, btw, and it's a nice refinement of the original design.
To you who have contacted me requesting sheaths, things are starting to roll.
I'm working through shipping and tariffs and whatnot, so I'll be in contact with you peeps once I have things nailed down. In the meantime, it's full steam ahead.
I have to pay for a new roof for our house this winter, so my dreams of sewing leather with a machine are on hold for now. This means I'll continue hand stitching for a while longer.

I'll be building templates for that around the same time as the DEK1 redesign, which will come after I complete and ship this batch of sheaths. Maybe in a couple months. It'll be designed for machine sewing, so production will begin once I can afford a machine. Hoping this dovetails with the release of the khukuri- I intend to develop a scabbard for that at the same time.
