Here is another of Chris English's knives, very slick opening and solid lockup
and the edge is even sharp! Working on a vertical sheath for it this week.
Here is a shot of the sheath formed and dyed but not embossed yet, waiting
on an answer from the owner
in order to make this from one piece of leather, it wraps around and folds down
the back side for the belt loop, you should remove a small section of leather
in order to form it tightly to the knife, otherwise you'll get a big pucker there
much like when tin knockers cut out pieces of metal in order to fold the tin
into various shapes.
Nice knife, tempted to call him up and see if he could make a nice wharnie for me
