Sheath for my new Le Thier

[harronek]

That's very cool of you Ken, and congrats G-2. I guess I was the unwitting beneficiary of Gary tearing up his ankle==I was actually referred to Gary by Ken as a guy to help locate a Thiers folding knife. I am the one who bought Gary's juniper Le Thier. I love this knife, and I can tell you, Gary has some magic in his sharpening skills, as this knife was literally the sharpest knife I have ever obtained! Gary was good enough to give me a few pointers, and I am waiting on some new stones right now, and will be putting some of Gary's techniques to use to the best of my abilities. I guess now my goal will be to purchase one of these sheaths from Ken--what say you Harronek?

I don't sell any of my work because with payment comes expectations .
I also don't have a Thiers to use to make another one
But if your willing to have a horizontal sheath with a weird different coloured belt loop ( it was an experiment to try and make the loop disappear and match my belt colour , and one I will not probably repeat ) then your welcome to have it as a gift. I was going through my bin of shame on the weekend and saw it there and at the time thought I should throw it out .
If your interested PM me your postal address .

Your silly about your work Ken. I've thrown out a few myself, but giving them away is a great idea. Not so much if you sell your work, but I'd wager that plenty of people would see beauty in your "seconds". :thumbup:

I take your point , but guess its just me
I'm continually on the search for the Holy Grail of sheaths and as you will know the maker of anything always sees the faults before the beauty .
But , and its a big " BUT " that search is what keeps the chase alive .
For example I have never made more than 4 sheaths of any one design . By then I've already had a new idea or thought and my next sheath is usually poles apart from the previous one . Although it may come across as dissolutioned with my work , the mistakes are what keeps me coming back and continually experimenting with different themes .
I decided the other day to not make anymore belt sheaths for awhile and concentrate on pocket folder slips , that has reinvigorated me to bend the Moo . In six months time it will be something else .
