Man oh man...it's been a long time since I visited this thread...
Update: The Salish has officially been retired. It's a phenomenal piece and has taken more abuse than any knife should. It has shaken off everything I could throw at it and asked for more. I did, of course, use it as a knife as intended rather than a hammer or prybar but, as a knife, it handled wonderfully.
Christine has been so kind as to send me a Kootenai with a fantastic leather sheath. See one here: (Click image for larger version)

These are being made by the boys at JRE Industries and really class up the knife. They're also doing the Bitterroot and the Crowfoot in both black and brown.
This knife (the Kootenai) is now the focus of my attention and I will do my best to give this a beating like the Salish took.
Stay tuned...
