I wanted to update about the sheaths I offer with my knives.
Leather, I will only be making pouch style sheaths for all knives. Sheaths with keeper straps are a pain to make. I can make a pouch sheath for a knife in about an hour sometimes less depending on size. Extras on sheaths such as firesteel holder and scout carry will still be available but I may charge extra.
Kydex, my ability is limited with kydex. Mainly neck/pocket carry. I can add a belt loop but it will be leather. It's too time consuming messing around with tech loks and kydex belt loops. Also kydex is a problem with blade scratching. You get grit inside, and it will mess up the blade. Also mositure is tough to get out of kydex if you have a O1 or A2 steel knife. Stainless is not a problem with mositure.
This is off topic but you guys that have cord wrapped O1 or A2 blades, try not to let the handle get wet. You'll end up with rust. If it gets wet, get the cord off an get it dried. I plan on a cord wrap vid. I'm not a fancy cord wrapper so if you can figure and better way feel free to do so.
