I can only hope so. Thanks for the tips on glueing, I'll have to try when the occasion presents itself.

Ok, I've got the lawn chair sitting by the mail box. :) I really appreciate you doing this for me. I'm really anxious to get it! :D

Got the sheath yesterday and it looks great. Thank you very much Tvenuto. I'll try to get some pictures later. Yesterday was spent all day working on the roof of our back porch. Me and two other guys. I gotta tell you I'm feeling old today. SORE! :)

Sorry about the delay. Been really busy the last couple of days. Here is the sheath with the knife. Tvenuto, thank you very much. It's just what I was thinking of when I thought of getting a leather sheath. BTW, did you put any preservative on it? If not I would normally use some Ballistol or another spray leather conditioner. Or neatsfoot oil.

Thanks again and great work. LOTS better than my pizza box sheaths. :D

Awesome thanks for posting, I hope it serves you well. The last step I put Obenauf's LP on it, which I should help protect it. I don't really have much outdoors experience with it, but it gets good reviews.
