Sheath for the Leverletto?

Hi folks! I know I haven't been around in awhile, but thank God, I've been busy. :D I was wondering if any of you gentlemen would mind showing me the sheath you carry your LLO in.

Re: Recent Leverletto build with filework

I give credit for this to the guys in here who inspired me to do such things. :) If not for some folks in here, I may very well have never attempted something like this. People like Mr. DeShivs and a few others made it easy for me. 8) Been making these as gifts and need more kits. :D

Need to sell...

Hi folks, I know I have not been around in awhile, but I've been busy. I have come to the conclusion that I need to sell a few knives and am willing to make someone here a really good deal on 5 new condition german leverlocks. They are as follows: 1 Hubertus Guardian in stag. Never used, new conditi...

Re: Good music and BAD news :[

Well then you should buy some of their CD's and enjoy their music, several of their songs were written by Bob Dylan so it's really timeless music
Exactly. Personally, I prefer vinyl. :D I'm no old fart, but my buddy and I play this type of stuff on guitar. :o

There is certainly something special about the way these guy's brains work whether on powered or non-powered bikes. Ever seen any motorised trials comps? :?:

Re: Boy scout no knife

My very first project when I was in Cub Scouts was sewing together a sheath for a folder...We were taught to respect weapons and to view them as tools rather than offensive items. To this day, I know of none of my fellow scouts who are in jail for mis-using any type of weapon. :o

Re: Responsabilities- Manufacturer / distributor / dealer

The fact that he is willing to share that knowledge should be seen as as a positive trait and not a sign of arrogance. Absolutely. No reason to hide true talent. Mr. DeShivs may or may not have modified someone else's design, but if not for that brand of thinking, we'd all still be driving horses i...
