Buck 476 Mini Diamondback, 2004 tang stamp. I bought it new because it was an amazingly inexpensive Buck, then saw the Taiwan and never gave it much of a chance. Now I've opened my mind, I guess.

Today I received a package I've been looking forward to for a couple weeks now. My custom pancake sheath for a Western L88 arrived this afternoon from Dave "Horsewright" Ferry. The materials, design and workmanship are absolutely tip top, the fit is snug and the draw is smooth. My gun belt and several holsters are in black, so it matches beautifully. This sheath is to be worn at the small of the back and drawn with the right hand.
That's some top notch work, Jeff! That leather suits the L88 beautifully.

Thanks, Dylan, that puukko sure has a pointy tip on it . . . I like!
Those are good juggling knives. Three at a time is my limit.I'm going to make a sheath and pretend these are punales.
One sheath at least for starters, because I doubt I'll be carrying more than one of these at a time.
I don't know, though, one for each hand and one to throw?
Disable spell check -- you'll be happier.Think of Stan Shaw Jer, he still hacksaws all his own steel at 93!He told me, in his workshop at home he positions himself with his back against a tall chest of drawers, to get extra purchase, and reckons he goes through it like a hot knife through butter!
ANOTHER pattern I gotta get!I got in a Puukko today that I've become rather taken with. The knife and sheath were made by Tommi Mäkelä and the blade was made by Saku Honkilahti. Forged 80crv2 steel, fitted with Bog Oak and stainless/white coriander fittings.

Kind of funny to think that now what is essentially the current version of this in the Bucklite max series are all American made and still dirt cheap at around $20.Buck 476 Mini Diamondback, 2004 tang stamp.

They've compromised nothing, but they've got everything down pat and realized they actually can make it just as inexpensively in house here in the USA.
NICE!

Thats a beauty Dylan.
It has the look of a well thought out knife with perfect balance in proportions and material selections, plus built to last.

Thanks for the compliment, Jack! Dave, I imagine that large guard was the "hang up" . . . but you did great! I'm glad I could contribute to your arsenal of knowledge.
