Hi guys..

I like to show you these I just finished.
They have a 0.125" kydex liner, and a wrap of natural waxed Lappleather.
This type of leather is very thin, yet very stiff. The beltloops are made of halftanned..

The sheath with the orange inner has a wrap of thick halftanned around it instead of lappleather..


and I while I'm at it I might as well show you these 2 for the Bravo-1

I hope you like them..
Cheers, :thumbup:

Martin..in my experience with the BRK&T Aurora, the handles used to vary quite a bit in size..I think that they are all the same right now, as they are using more automated machines (CNC) to fabricate them. Is your sheath for the Aurora based on the latest model, and do you think it would fit an earlier one?? Gene

By the way...great looking stuff as always..I am always checking out you list of blades...to see what I can get from you. You need more knives in your list!!!!! Hey, its an excuse to get all the knives you ever wanted an more. I was thinking that you really need a FAllkniven H1, Skookum, and a Javanpaa Aito...just to name a few..LOL.
 
0.125" [3mm] is that correct ? It seems very thick.Excellent work !
 
I like your work a lot. It makes me want to order some of the knives you picture in your threads! Oh No, more knives!!!!
 
Martin, FANTASTIC sheaths! Most people buy a great blade and carry (loose it danger!) in a crappy sheath.

Do you sell these? Interested in one for the Bravo 1.
 
Nice, Martin. Very nice. I'm liking that F1 sheath in black A LOT. And to add on to Gene's sentiment, more knives are always better. What about an Enzo Trapper? Any plans for that one in the future?
 
@ Gene..
I don't know what year this Aurora is made, but if there were changes I guess it's wise to send the knife in for a perfect fit..
I've been on the lookout for a Skookum fior a while now.. any ideas??? :cool:

@ mete, 3.2mm to be precise. quite sturdy :thumbup:

@ tacticalsteel: sure, shoot me a PM

@ raindog101: I get a lot of requests for Fallknivens, so I guess my next one will be the A-1. I also have an RC-3 on my wishlist and the Barkie Aurora, .. If I find the Enzo in D2 for a good price I might consider it..
Aaargh.. too many knives ..


Thanks!!!!
Martin

ALSO..I feel quite confident that your sheath making days are just getting started!!!! I hate to presume to tell another man how to conduct business...but I would turn as much profit into steel as I could..the more options for a fast turnaround, would seem to me, the more business! I know many of us when considering a purchase..often consider turnaround time in the equation.


Thanks!!!!

I have thought about sending you some blades..but moneys a bit tight right now...I would love to see one of your bigger sheaths for the A2!!! because I have one:D Then we could get into piggybacks with an A2 and H1...now that would be cool!!!!:thumbup:
 
I suggest emailing Rod Garcia and ask if he has any Skookums made that the buyers backed out on. I did, and he had two. Pure luck and good timing.
