    stainless steels

    RWL is nice but the cost is high. AEB-L is less than half the cost.

    First attempt at this style sheath, Sam Brown stud

    If I had something to change on it, I would make the retaining strap about a thumbs width past the stud to make it easier to grasp.

    If you watch one of his demos on Instagram where he is finishing the gcarta for sale ,you will find he is spraying with WD40. I use it to sand . It polishes and keep the sanding in solution to clean off easy.

    Paring Knife question

    Sounds like a good size to me. One thing I always do is use corby bolts on them because they are flexed more than normal.

    How many of you guys and/or gals carry a vintage or antique knife rather than modern one?

    I carry an old Boker that I got at estate sale. One blade was broken so took apart and use with the two blades. Main clip had point broken so reground and now half of it is gone but still usable.

    Swedge grinding?!!

    I don't know why it would be any different but to grind a clip I used file guide. Put file guide on, run belt over to just the edge of the wheel, push in and drag to point. Other side adjust belt again repeat for that side.This was done at half speed.

    What's going on in your shop?

    I'm on lock down right now. 18 degrees and lightly snowing. The old 'milk house' heater doesn't do the trick at this time. Down to below 10 they say next Wednesday. Oh well the 5 sheaths worked for a while but are completed now. Cruising the internet and drinking coffee is about all I get completed.

    2nd attempt at sheath making-Horizontal sheath

    Just my 2 cents the belt loops would be better is half moon top and bottom. Square corners to my way of thinking is the opportunity to tear easier.
