The knife is already safe in Canada with it's new owner!

Specs:

Handstitched (copper strings) cow leather sheath.

wow, so the exposed wire look does not detract from the strength of the knife right? i really like that look. and it must feel great in the hand. :-D keep it up, we can't wait for the next one.

Not really. Not for the intended use at least :)
