Thyanks guys for all the nice comments. You guys really know how to stroke a guys ego.:bud:

Finished these about a week ago. The knives are my Koala Drop Point #2 models and the sheaths are for Horizontal carry. All comments are welcome

Bruce, I was having the same problem. I made the sheath extra wide at the top and put a bump on the welt that forces the tip forward at first and the you tip it into place. We will see how long it works.If it dosen't then I will have to come up with something different.

Thanks Guys, I"ve been making that sheath design for about 30 years now and it is just catching on.I've made more of them in the past 3 years than in the previous 10 it just goes in cycles Thanks for the comments

This is off the subject but is another use for white Vineger. If you get epoxy on your hands wash your hands with vineger while they are still stickyand off comes the epoxy

Been doing it for 38 years and still no stardom just a bunch of dust on the floor and scars on the hands.

I purchased my last checkering files About 20 years ago from Brownells and they are still going strong and I use them a lot.Thet are worth every penny when you consider the use you get out of them about a dollar a year.

I should have added if you don't have clamps that will work you can use double sided carpet tape ot stick the tang to the handle material. If you do this you should hav some try pins and put a pin in each hole after you drill it. This helps to keep the handle from wabbeling around on the tape.
