i just got this Schrade Walden 15OT from ebay and the sheath has a big cut on the bottom, it looks like someone pulled the knife out of the sheath to fast and it cut a big gash in the bottom as it came out. Any one have a spare or know where i can get one. DT

Richard in Rockport, Texas has them, both finished last style, and raw earlier style. Both are decently priced. Paul (Sheathmaker) has posted here how to finish out the raw ones, but might repost or link it for you if you ask nicely. If you want one in the first style, a bit fancier, but of best quality, contact Sheathmaker from this forum. He made me a new sheath for one of mine in the original style but improved in material and workmanship, and also a superb custom one. He still has those patterns in his shop. Pics are still posted here somewhere. I'll look for them.

Here is the custom replacement sheath Paul made for my 15OT and a matching one for my 165OT. It is not an exact duplicate of the original, but much better constructed in both materials and workmanship.
Vegetable tanned leather (Hermann Oak, IIRC), with kangaroo hide laces, all stitched with no splatter rivets. He also added a third, center strip of leather to protect the laces from the blade.
Here is the original it was styled after, what I call a "Type 1":
The Type 1 is uncommon in mint condition because it was cheaply constructed of reconstituted leather, all die stamped in one operation, not hand tooled, and used leather laces which tended to dry out and break, or get cut by the knife.
Here is the custom he made for me. The inserts are hornback alligator, lining is deerhide. Design is pure P.F.Long, including adding my initials and date to his maker's stamp on the back.
And he made a matching custom for my smaller 152OT Sharpfinger as well.
