Trad Gang

I have recently begun to make a few knife sheaths, mainly for a handful of my knives that needed something better than what they came with, and a couple for friends and family members.  Tons of fun!  SOOOO, I'm out of knives that need a sheath, and I still have enough leather for a couple more.  If you have a knife that need a sheath, either because it is a crappy store bought sheath, it's falling apart or it didn't come with one, I'd like to make you one!  I will make one sheath for two different fellas (or ladies!).  The one thing I will need from yo is to borrow your knife for about a week.  I could probably get by with just a tracing of the blade, but I would like to wet form the sheath as well.  I plan on doing a pictorial, but first I gotta have your name.  If you are interested I will draw names Monday night, so sign up.  Here is a couple examples of what it ends up looking like..

Wow count me in. Those are beautiful!! I have an old WWII knife that could use a sheath just like that

Very nice offer.  My hunting knife came with a nice sheath already (Rapid River Knife Works) so I am not interested ...

but want to know what is on the left side of the knife in the second pic?  Sharpening steel?

Put my name in... the one I have is crappy...it is falling apart now... my wife just got it for me.

i could use a new sheath for my knife just PM the info

Hey Mike, Great gesture. Count me in please. I happen to have two knives I just recently finished up. I'll send you a couple of pics and if my name is drawn you can decide (if ya want) which knife to make a sheath for. Thanks!

I could use one for a knife a friend made for me.

I'd love to be in on this one also.  Throw me in the hat.  Got a new Marbles Caper that I would love to have a good sheath for.  

I love that little knife!

Sounds like an awesome idea, count me in please.

Please add me as well....great job!

Please put me in.  I have a Helle knife that needs a left handed sheath.  After contacting them (Dryad), it seems that they don't make a lefty..... that just isn't fair!

Those look like fine pieces of craftmanship.

Thanks Mike! Count me in!

Awsome! Sign me up please.

add me, our newest dog chewed up one of my sheaths

Please add my name   :thumbsup:

If it's not too late, please add my name as well.  I have a little knife that I want to be my son's first hunting knife, and the sheath has been cut, so it's worthless right now.  A new sheath is just what it needs.  Thanks for the offer!
All the best,
Glenn

Putting your name in is now closed.  Give me a few minutes to write down ya'lls names and I will draw two of you from the lucky Boston Red Sox hat...

And the winners are....

OK, OK, so I picked four!  I said two!  But I think I should have enough for all ya'll, and if I don't, well there's a Tandy leather real close by.

So the four of you, I sent you a PM.

I only wish I had the time and money to make you all a sheath!  I absolutely love the trad gang and all that you bring to the table!  This is just a little way for me to say thank you all, it's just that only four of you are going to get something.

Mike

That was a great give away. Congrats to all of you and way to go mike for your generosity    :clapper:

Ooooo - I was  soooo  close (I like to think -   ;) ) Great group of winners, congrats to all four, and what a generous act from Mike - bless your heart!

LOL - it never fails to make me laugh at how many folks in give-away threads seem to not read far enough to find out   it's all over  - except the shoutin' n' hollerin' - and of course the warm feelings remaining for the giver.   ;)
