Thanks Gary for the pics, but as he knows, the only reason I sent them to him was so he would know what to do to make me up some sheaths for them, and he has made 2 for the small(vertical & horizontal carry), 1 for my Umfaan in canted carry, and 1 in horizontal carry with a flap for the large, and he is now making a right hand carry vertical for the large one. I like variety of carry for my Benzas.
I did not think it was any big deal on what I did, but Gary thought it was different.
What I did was smooth down just the front part of the scale with 800 grit by wet sanding, and then tried to come up with something to fill the pilot hole.
I collect quite a few knives(production & custom), and have never gotten hit by the decorated Sebenza bug, and decided to create my own. The small Sebenza idea came to me about 2 years ago, and found an eagle hat pin in sterling silver in a western store, and worked out a way to epoxy it in the pilot hole, and when I bought the large Sebenza, I decided to try, and come up with another idea on the Harley Davidson theme having owned, and road Harleys for over 10 years. I was at a Harley Rally here in Reno last year, and found another pin in sterling in the shape of a circle, and with the letters HD, and it fit perfect, so bought it, and it worked out well.
I am known to be different(weird?) sometimes, but I like having things done a different way than others.
Like I said, no big deal, but some seem to like it. Is original I must say. Stones are cool too, but I just like my idea better to keep in the Harley theme.
My .02 cents worth rounded off to a buck.
