I am in no rush, great to hear there coming along....

Price is $300 $250 ea (shipped within CONUS). If you live outside the US, I will contact you after your order for extra shipping charges.
Order here: https://www.bladeforums.com/help/2024-traditional/ - Order as many as you like, we have plenty.
Yes - I've talked with Butch about that...and we decided it would up the price too much...not to mention plagarize Kenny's work.
The strap does lift up good...and you can put the knife back in with one hand - but it does take practice...you won't get it the first time you try it.

I'm very impressed with how it turned out....I expected it to be a LOT bigger and heavier...but Butch is THE MAN!
He also figured out a nice-looking way to tie in front of the handle to the sheath. Together with the folded-over spine...it "locks" the blade in place. The strap is more of a formality - in case you end up upside-down.And it is a beefy strap - integral to the sheath...thick and stout.
I put it on my belt and was able to draw the knife very easily. I really don't know how else to explain it. It just "feels right".
Like I said...I was worried....but my faith/trust paid off!
Hope you like it Jim!
Jim Hall - the leather sheath showed up today!![]()

oops - got my wires crossed.....too many Jim's....:foot:
Jim K (jlkitch) is the one waiting for the sheath.
What do you think about no strap at all? and making it a bit deeper pouch?
