I can make you one. Ill start making a machete and by the time I'm done grinding and trying to sharpen it, it will be microscopic. :'(
Pat B:
This is the finished pic. The flap was brought to the back like a belt loop and laced in place. I can attach this to my safety harness in a convenient area. I also added a neck lanyard. It is part of the original, incredibly fabulous Southern Community Bow string. ;D It developed a broken strand in the center where the arrow is nocked. I hate to throw anything away so I cut this to length and spliced the tag end so it can also used as a neck knife. Dana, I also drilled a hole in the antler handle :o and attached a leather thong. This makes it easier to remove the knife from the sheath. Pat
ps. I made 2 new bow strings with wool string silencers for the Southern Community Bow.
