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.
very nice looking pieces. do you take commissions?
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.
