I admire his work and I've seen a lot of it on another site. I've seen some guys produce everything from 1840's era to ultra-modern. I can give you some other names, but Pauls work is something to admire. If you have trouble reaching him, just pm me, I may be able to contact him or someone else who makes some excellent sheaths. Paul Long (sheathmaker), Chuck Burrows http://www.wrtcleather.com and Sandy Morrissey are all great. Chuck is more into period leather, The site I was referring to is down right now, I suspect it will be up on Monday.

Singin 46,
I have 4 or 5 Schrade sheaths tucked away somewhere, if that sounds like anything in which you might be interested. I will post a photo of one of them and I notice it has a smudge on it. I would ship a clean one.
I normally get $6 for them, plus whatever postage might be with no markup. I can mail by first class or by priority, your choice.
If you are looking for something to use, this would be a good choice. They are not fancy at all.

Thanks very much guys, I think I'm gonna try to get a hold of sheathmaker somehow and see about this. Paladin, I may still be interested in that deal too. I'll pm you tonight.

Thanks again to Johnnie and Hukk and Paladin,

pm AAPK Member 'RAYBAN' who is an excellant leather man. He has made me about a dozen sheaths from folders and fixed blades to double bit axe to a folding bolo machete.
His web page is under his post in the thread about a Marine aviator knife or any place else he has posted.

Thanks Savage, I can always use another source, so far I just make sheaths for my knives that go out to customers, really a time constraint and won't compare to the quality that the guys mentioned in this thread can do.

Some day, I hope my quality can be up there with those guys.

Here's Rayban's web site. It has good photos of his work.
rgleather.freehomepage.com
I'll also email him and have come on here and post.
I see other guys on here that have his sheaths and love 'em.
And, your welcome...to those who said 'thanks' thats' what it is all about-helping each other.

Hey Singin’
Sheathmaker’s email is: pfl@cebridge.net
If you need his phone number, shoot me a PM.
He is IMHO, the BEST.
