VERY nice job, Howard.

 

[Bill Martino]

Nice and thanks. I have a hard time reading against a dark background, tho.

Good job Howard, I'm sure your friend will cherish that knife for many years to come. I especially like that it hangs from a braided thong. Absolutely all of the period style knives I make are given "swinger" sheaths that hang from a thong. It's, IMHO, the most comfortable way to wear a belt knife. No digging in or getting in the way, you can almost forget it's there until it comes time to cut something.

I like the fact that the sheath has my initials on it.

Thanks guys.

Sarge, it is obvious you speak from experience. I thought the dangler sheaths were kind of ugly, until I wore one. The belt knife I carry most frequently, my WASP, uses this style. (see http://www.tx3.net/~howardw/knives/WASP.htm ) The Saami people of northern Europe also use the dangler a lot, and they are a people who use their knives frequently.

Dave, If you want to get the sheath from Red Flower I suggest approaching her wearing kevlar underwear.
