    I will try and get some pics, but be warned I am far from good with the kydex sheaths. It will be a simple sheath.

    Well, I'm a simple kind of guy. The sheath and I should get along just fine.

    Looks great Poncho! I especially appreciate that there is no marks left from making the blade! I'll be days geting them out of mine...What is it you use for pins I wanted the steel color rather than brass, I was going to use galvinized nails or high tensile wire but am a little concerned about rust.
    Keep in mind the problem may be extremely complicated, though the "Fix" is often simple...

    They are 1/8 inch stainless steel rods I ordered from an online store. This is an air hardening stainless steel so it does not scale as bad as an oil quenching steel. So I hand sand up to 600 grit before heat treating is done. When I get it back I use a leather backed sandpaper and scrub off the scale and scratches. Then I will srub in one direction untill there are no visible scratches from other lower grits available.

    It would take a few months to make one . I have some blades back from HT that are for other folks I need to finish first. Feel free to email me with any questions.

    Frank - If the recipient of that knife decides he doesn't want it just let me know. I'll be happy to take it off your hands. Anyone would be proud to have that rascal. You really do a wonderful job on them!!
