@Wildthings and I are entering into a trade. Barry saw where I had asked @Molokai to make me a couple of sheaths for my @robert flynt / @Packardknives Persian pair and offered to make one of them. I indicated I didn't want to crawfish on Tom but that I had something near and dear to my heart that could use a sheath. In 1969 my dad was transiting through the P.I. to retrieve some shot up helos from Nam to bring back to Atsugi Japan for major work, and when he came back home he handed me this (my mom freaked out but dad said it was time his son owned a real knife - eat your heart out Crocodile Dundee lol) . . .
Look at all the pen blanks in that ebony (?) handle.
It came with a sheath but I wore it out many moons ago and eventually lost track of it. When I was in my early teens I use to actually wear this on my waist and walk down the street with it to go play with my buddies when we lived in Corpus Christi. I know for certain I wore this thing dozens of times on my way to a chinaberry fight or something or just to play cowboys and indians, and there were bound to be cops that passed me on the street. They obviously figured it had to be a toy.
Like Tom said, Barry says he just wants to make the sheath for gratis. But like Tom, Barry is going to get wood and/or whatnot in return. Barry it measures 18.5" overall and the blade is 11.5 inches. So, are you game?
