Eric, those are some beautiful knives.  They look to be the perfect size to carry on your quiver or make into neck knives.  Bill

Well... it took a couple of hours but we finally finished the sheaths for all of them.  We finished them pretty quickly I think we made all 5 in under 2 hours... I think they turned out pretty nice myself.  :)

not braiding... reverse twisting like how you make a bow string... it's faster and looks better to me with this suede lace. :)
