Hi

I have been contemplating about making a knife sheath for quite some time..
Finally after a lot of self motivation I finally found time today to make a sheath for my hollow handle survival knife.

@rahul, essdee,
I need a few sheaths made for a couple of knives i have made for myself. Was hoping you guys could help me out. How about a few sheaths in exchange for some 1095 steel blade blanks :D

Sure buddy! Glad to help!

If you can get the 1095 cut and shaped, it will be an added incentive :twisted:

The blanks are cut and ready buddy. Have cut 4 pcs of each knife shape. Will put up some pics to give you a rough idea. The blanks can be collected from me the next time you are here.
