Newest sheath Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks great, I'm also intrigued by that design sheath. And since I'm a noob at it, I need the practice. How do you cut out the belt slots?

I suck at sharpening, and all my knives are made from 440c. I think it's just me, but I'm interested to read some replies Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bought the Minwax Hardener and it doesn't do anything but darken the wood and put a very thin coating on it. I was going to try submerging the scales in it and see if it made a difference, but I have a full bottle of it that I don't use because it doesn't seem to do anything but coat it...
