Yes.Does the sheath have a welt?
Ok. Sorry did not see itYes.
I do not get along with my knife makers .This past weekend I had a gentleman approach me at our booth at the craft fair and wishes to for me collaborate with him in his knife making venture.
He showed me some pictures of is hand made knives, with only a shot of them on a phone they looked very well made, then he said here is my problem I have tried to make a high quality sheath to go with each knife.... After seeing a pic of his sheath I had to agree with him that his talents laid in the bladesmithing arena.
I told him that I did not run a production leather working outfit and a sheath would have to be custom fit and not cheap. He said he will give me a call to discuss details and he did not seem discouraged.
Just ask Frodo there is a lot of work when you use 10 and 12 oz leather! That stuff is stubborn.
I wish sometimes that the internet service here would allow me to post pictures ,but alas, y'all are spared, thank God for small mercies.
Wow! That’s nuts. Especially if there is any sort of tooling involved. What is minimum wage there. It’s so annoying, but pointing out that that would just cover the cost of the materials and it takes about however long to make it, even at minimum wage which is what the kid pushing the broom at McDs makes, it would be $X amount.I do not get along with my knife makers .
They want a custom sheth but don't want to pay the $50 they want to give you 20 .that covers material I'm not doing this **** for free
I had a knife maker actually get madI agree totally frodo....I told him we would talk but I have seen leather knife sheath's that were made supposedly custom for a blade maker.
They were askin between $250 to $350 per unit, I found a blade I liked but the holder was OK so I ask what was the blade price sans sheath \ -$20!
So yep ,I suspect where this is going, just like you said.
