Very nice looking blades brother Harner. "SIMPLE STUFF"......... Nothing Paul does is simple. He makes it look simple, but that is what a Master Craftsman does.

Quick story.......... Back in early '06, Paul was just starting to make his presence known here on Blade Forums (I think he joined in '05). I was struggling with sheath making (and still do), so I sent a couple of blades to Paul. The blades were nothing special, but when I got them back, they had the best suit of clothes anyone could ever ask for.

Below are a couple of pics of what I got back from Paul in '06. To say that I was impressed is an understatement.

Paul knocks every sheath he touches out of the park. I've never seen him make one that I didn't find as compelling to look at as the knife in it...he's THE MAN for a reason!! Great looking knives too!
 
if I were to have two different knives for the apocalypse, these would work out pretty well, and imagine how stylin a guy would feel wandering the wastes toting steel in such elegant luggage! Fantastic work all around!
 
Simple? I'd be proud as punch to make something that nice. Oh, and the blades ain't bad either, hehe.
 
ooo dont think im caling his work simple (this is what he calls nothing fancy you know jsut the std. stuff) its stunning evey time i get work from him. i really need to be sendign more stuff to him as i make it
 
My friends, I thank you for all the words of praise. Regarding the description as simple and plain, it was my doing when I discussed them with Butch. These sheaths are by my regard, plain Vanilla, but even plain Vanilla has to be made according to a strict recipe if it's going to be any good. They are technically and structurally as good as anything else I make. My attention to detail on these is the same as I put into the fancier versions.

Again, I thank you, and I am humbled by your responses.

Paul
