Just got a box in the mail, (of course I trudged through pouring rain to get it down on the main road), from our friend Coleman. Two very sweet slip sheaths for my new Umnumzaan, and a lovely leather sheath for my new Ember 3.0
I expected nice, but to be honest, I didn't know if I should expect this nice. The sheaths all hold their knives firmly but give them up without a struggle. Most impressively, the sheath for the Ember releases it from captivity by simply putting one's thumb against the leather and pulling the handle with the fingers. Yet doesn't let go of the knife if shaken.
That's craftsmanship. The kind that only comes from patience and dedication.
Thank you, Coleman. These sheaths (and shirt) will be proudly worn both for their quality, as well as what they represent personally.
