  Justin, I need one a bit smaller for that. ;D      Pat
I can make you one. Ill start making a machete and by the time I'm done grinding and trying to sharpen it, it will be microscopic.  :'(

This is the finished pic. The flap was brought to the back like a belt loop and laced in place. I can attach this to my safety harness in a convenient area. I also added a neck lanyard. It is part of the original, incredibly fabulous Southern Community Bow string. ;D It developed a broken strand in the center where the arrow is nocked. I hate to throw anything away so I cut this to length and spliced the tag end so it can also used as a neck knife.  Dana, I also drilled a hole in the antler handle  :o and attached a leather thong. This makes it easier to remove the knife from the sheath.        Pat

ps. I made 2 new bow strings with wool string silencers for the Southern Community Bow.

Why does it not surprise me to find out you do leather work too, Pat. I've got a couple tools and guess i need to start trying to do some sort of sheaths, if I'm gonna keep doing knives - and I plan too, as long as the good lord is willing, that is. Nice little knife and sheath (actually, much nicer than just nice - LOL) .
