Steve, It is not my best work The stitch line sort of got away from me. That happens when you get old and senile.

My advice is to get with a sheath maker and ask LOTS of questions. I was fortunate enough to talk to Paul Long on a couple of occasions and visit Sandy Morrissey at his home several times.

Ask..... Watch....... Practice....... Then ask some more.

Thanks to all who made such kind comments on this knife. As of now, it looks like it may have a new home in Italy.

Thanks guys. This one left yesterday for a new home in Italy. I hated to see her go. Every time I make a pretty nice knife, I think........ dang....... I'm gonna keep this one. It never works out that way. Somewhere, someone wants it more than I do.;)

I guess my grandsons will have to wait a while longer.

Robert, that's a knife makers life, the ones you want to keep always sell first. That piece is really nice.
