thanx fellows!

tipp, it should be in the 60's in mid march around here.  if you come up toward greenwood or abbeville, let me know.

swp, this was a custom job for $150. the sheath is triple layered with the magnets inleted in the back of the middle layer to keep them from rubbing the blade.  this is the first of this design i've made and under estimated how much work would be involved.  the next will be a few dollars more.

Are you willing to share a source for the magnets?  Can they be ground thinner/different shape to fit?

P.S. I really like the knives, and the sharpener/fire steel inclusion.
