Good grief I'm stupid. I finished a knife and sheath for a buddys birthday. I noticed a little fog of moisture in the blade about an hour before I was due to go give him the knife. So what ingenious thing do I do you might ask?
I decide to put the sheath in the microwave for a couple min. I'm doing a little polishing with some flitz and I hear a sizzling sound. OH Crap, I exclaimed as I rush to open the nuclear reactor. As the fog cleared i see what appears to be some sort of fried pork skin has been placed in the microwave where my sheath once resided. But all was not lost!!!!
I quickly forced the knife into the sheath and formed the leather around the blade. I tossed the thing into the freezer to cool it and my smoking fingers. Deb came into the kitchen to see why I was chugging on a bottle of cheap bourbon. I pulled it out of the freezer to show her and she said that she liked it even better now. I looked at it for a minute and decided that I did too. It now had a nice wrinkled finish and was beautifully molded to the blade. I decided that the leather now was what I would now call my "Elephant scrotum" style sheath
I gave the knife to my buddy and told him what had happened. he took the knife to work to show all his co-workers and the all loved it.he told them all that it was in fact elephant scrotum. A rather goofy fellow that came into the room a little late for the description asked to see the knife........ The first thing he did was put the knife and sheath up to his nose and takes a big whiff and says " Boy that smells good". Needless to say this fellow will never have a normal life again until he finds differant employment.
