    Default Sheath Fail

    I didn't grind the knife - just put it together. I did make the sheath. I knew I was pushing it a bit with this style of sheath for the size of the knife. Found out that I pushed it more than a bit. I guess the knife is sharp.

    so the definition of a criminal is someone who breaks the law and you want me to believe that somehow more laws make less criminals?

    You have to think like a lawyer. You call that the julienne accessory and tack an extra ten bucks onto the price.

    Ya, I've seen that before. I have done it to sheaths with and without stitching in a welt.

    Crash, I had that happen before. It's one of the reasons that I rarely make a sheath with a full welt. On bent leather sheaths, the bend always holds the blade slot open.

    Somehow I don't think I explained that very good.
