    Anyone going to Plaza Cutlery Custom Knife show in California?

    Help Me Choose A New Makers Mark Please!

    Personally I like both B and D. D has a little more flare. But B is a more straightforward, simple design. You should factor in the types of knives you make when you decide.

    Lining Kydex Sheaths

    I made a kydex sheath for my personal knife. The knife is small enough to carry in my pocket and it's nice to take out and show people a real example when discussing my hobby.
