I just posted the following message on
Edgeout's facebook page;
Hey folks, Lorien here;
I have the knife in my possession and am just finishing building a leather sheath for it. All that remains is a few final touches, and then waxing the leather.
It took longer than anticipated. My father passed earlier this month, and I've been dealing with that grief, and all the practical things one has to deal with in situations such as this.
However, I was inspired to dedicate this knife pattern and my sheathwork to my dad. He was a leatherworker for many years, and his craftiness really rubbed off on me. His name is Charles Arnold, but when he was a wee grom, his family called him 'Buster'.
The name of this knife, therefore, is 'Buster'. I dedicate it to my father, and to all good fathers, particularly Ryan Weeks, whose teen aged son has just left for a two year mission, and who will be greatly missed by his family during this time.
I'll post up some pictures of the finished sheath this weekend.
My dad was always very supportive of my obsession with cycling and cutlery, was quite keen on this project, and the charity we are trying to lift up by taking it on. Please consider purchasing some raffle tickets in order to benefit Bikes 4 Kids Utah, and to potentially benefit yourself by scoring this sweet knife.
Cheers!
Lorien
