I got it done, a few lil extras to add and I hope to ship Monday. The sheath is braintan from last year with some Caborn Welborn art off of pottery found in the bottoms around here. It looks old,which is what I went for.

Wildman, that looks great.  It will go great on my quiver.  Here is a few pics of the knife.  I still need to shine the handle and seal it.  I also have the sheath cut out and ready to get started on.  Trapper, I can't help it.  I am always very critical about the things I make.

Small problem with mine. I have tried 3 times tonight to harden my blade. Cant do it. My forge isnt big enough to hold the entire blade and heat it evenly. I am going to have to start a charcoal fire on the ground to get this thing to harden. Very annoying....

i have never had a problem sending one.  Of course they have never asked if it was a knife.  Usually just ask if it is perishable, explosive, etc.

Knives are tools. The only knives you are not supposed to send through the mail are switch blades or auto's if it is illegal to carry autos in your area. Tell them to go read their own regulations. All that is required is sufficient packaging.
